Mission & Interests

Goals: The EGI Foundation (also known as Stichting EGI and abbreviated as EGI.eu) is a not-for-profit foundation established under the Dutch law to coordinate the EGI Federation (abbreviated as EGI), an international collaboration that federates the digital capabilities, resources and expertise of national and international research communities in Europe and worldwide. The main goal is to empower researchers from all disciplines to collaborate and to carry out data- and compute-intensive science and innovation. The EGI Foundation has participants and associated participants drawn from representatives of national e-infrastructure consortiums (NGIs), EIROs, ERICs, and other legal entities. These entities provide the physical resources and shared services that enable EGI to deliver, improve and innovate services for communities.

Activities

Main EU Legislative Proposals: OPEN SCIENCE POLICY The EGI Federation is a European research e-Infrastructure that enables transnational access to advanced computing and research data. It implements the European Open Science Cloud by delivering federating services and a distributed compute platform to thousands of scientists. In policy area of open science, EGI is a key stakeholder represented in and contributing to the EC Open Science Policy Platform. NEXT GENERATION TECHNOLOGIES FOR INDUSTRIAL DATA, EDGE and CLOUD The EGI Federation is one of the largest distributed computing infrastructures for data-intensive research collaborations. It federates hundreds of major research data centres in Europe and worldwide, making advanced computing services, capacity and research data accessible in a federated manner to members of international scientific collaborations. EGI expands the federation of its facilities with other non-European digital infrastructures in North America, South America, Africa-Arabia and the Asia-Pacific region, as such EGI fully realises the “Open to the World” vision. In order to interoperate at international level, EGI and its partners operate in the context of a lightweight collaboration framework defining rules of participations via a corpus of policies and technical guidelines.
Communication Activities: In 2014, we launched a vision for an Open Science Commons (OSC) as an approach for sharing and governing advanced digital services, scientific instruments, data, knowledge and expertise that enables researchers to collaborate more easily and be more productive. Within the OSC, researchers from all disciplines would have easy, integrated and open access to the advanced digital services, scientific instruments, data, knowledge and expertise they need to collaborate and achieve excellence in science, research and innovation. The Open Science Commons builds on the understanding that managing shared resources as a Commons maximises benefits for society. Applying this principle to the Open Science process is expected to improve stewardship from funding agencies in collaboration with stakeholders. It will also create clear and non-discriminatory access rules together with the sense of shared ownership stimulates a higher level of participation, cooperation and social reciprocity. The Open Science Commons relies on four pillars, representing a wide range of groups, providers and community types: - Data. The data that is the subject matter for research. It should be dealt with according to the principles of open access and open science, while maintaining trust and privacy for researchers. - e-Infrastructures. The technology and technical services supporting researchers, building towards integrated services and interoperable infrastructures across Europe and the world. - Scientific instruments. The equipment and collaborations which generate scientific data, from small-scale lab machines to global collaborations around massive facilities. - Knowledge. The human networks, understanding and material capturing skills and experience required to carry out open science using the three other pillars.
