Title: ELIXIR-EXCELERATE (H2020-INFRADEV-1-2015-1) ELIXIR-EXCELERATE: Fast-track ELIXIR implementation and drive early user exploitation across the life-sciences
Period: Start date: 2015-09-01, End date: 2019-09-01
Project aim: The life sciences are undergoing a transformation. Modern experimental tools study the molecules, reactions, and organisation of life in unprecedented detail. The precipitous drop in costs for high-throughput biology has enabled European research laboratories to produce an ever-increasing amount of data. Life scientists are rapidly generating the most complex and heterogeneous datasets that science can currently imagine, with unprecedented volumes of biological data to manage.
Data will only generate long-term value if it is Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Re-usable (FAIR). This requires a scalable infrastructure that connects local, national and European efforts and provides standards, tools and training for data stewardship.
Formally established as a legal entity in January 2014, ELIXIR - the European life science Infrastructure for Biological Information - is a distributed organisation comprising national bioinformatics research infrastructures and the European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI). This coordinated infrastructure includes data standards, exchange, interoperability, storage, security and training.
Recognising the importance of a data foundation for European life sciences, the ESFRI and European Council named ELIXIR as one of Europe’s priority Research Infrastructures. In response ELIXIR have developed ELIXIR-EXCELERATE. The project will fast-track ELIXIR’s early implementation phase by i) coordinate and enhance existing resources into a world-leading data service for academia and industry, ii) grow bioinformatics capacity and competence across Europe, and iii) complete the management processes needed for a large distributed infrastructure.
ELIXIR-EXCELERATE will deliver a step-change in the life sciences. It will enable cost-effective and sustainable management and re-use of data for millions of users across the globe and improve the competitiveness of European life science industries through accessible data and robust standards and tools.

Title: INDIGO-Datacloud (H2020-EINFRA-2014-1) INtegrating Distributed data Infrastructures for Global ExplOitation
Period: April 2015 - October 2017
Project aim:

INDIGO-DataCloud (INtegrating Distributed data Infrastructures for Global ExplOitation) aims at developing a data/computing platform targeted at scientific communities, deployable on multiple hardware, and provisioned over hybrid (private or public) e-infrastructures. The expertise of the INDIGO consortium builds on the body of work of several research groups with significant and unrivalled experience in middleware development for production-class distributed e-infrastructures. The quality of their achievements is demonstrated by the results of previous projects and initiatives carried out in Europe across the past ten years of collaborations on scientific computing based on different consolidated and emerging paradigms (HPC, Grid and Cloud).
In INDIGO, key European developers, resource providers, e-infrastructures and scientific communities have joined to ensure the successful exploitation and sustainability of the project outcome. INDIGO will develop and deliver software components allowing execution of applications on Cloud and Grid based
infrastructures, as well as on HPC clusters. The project will extend existing PaaS (Platform as a Service) solutions, allowing public and private e-infrastructures, including those provided by EGI, EUDAT, PRACE and Helix Nebula, to integrate their existing services, make them available through AAI services compliant with GEANT’s interfederation policies, thus guaranteeing transparency and trust in the provisioning of such services.
In Cloud computing, both the public and private sectors are already offering Cloud resources as IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service). However, there are numerous areas of interest to scientific communities where Cloud computing uptake is currently lacking, especially at the PaaS and SaaS (Software as a Service) levels. INDIGO therefore aims at developing tools and platforms based on Open Source solutions addressing scientific challenges in the Cloud computing, storage and network areas. A key strength and benefit of the INDIGO consortium, for both the scientific and industrial sectors, is the potential to create a new sustainable Cloud competence in Europe for PaaS, similar to what OpenNebula or OpenStack have done for IaaS.

MetaCentrum tasks:

Work package 3 Software Management and Pilot Services (WP3, SA) (WP deputy leader: CESNET) will support service activities, that in INDIGO are mainly oriented to guarantee a high quality software management, and a successful deployment of pilot services. We participate in:

  • T3.2 Software release and maintenance
  • T3.3 Pilot services

Work package 4 Resource Virtualization (WP4, JRA) focuses on virtualizing local compute, storage and networking resources (IaaS) and on providing those resources in a standardized, reliable and performing way to remote customers or to higher level federated services, building virtualized site independent platforms. With higher-level services we mainly, but not exclusively, refer to the platform services provided by WP5. We participate in:

  • T4.3 Network Virtualization (CESNET is the leader) -  Milestones for the networking area:
    • M4.18: Prototype implementation for local virtual networks
    • M4.1: Results of cross-sites virtual network solution evaluation

Title: EGI - Engage (H2020-EINFRA-2014-2) Engaging the EGI Community towards an Open Science Commons
Period: March 2015 - September 2017
Project aim:

EGI-Engange project continues the transition towards the sustainable pan-European e-Infrastrusture initiated within series of EGEE*/EGI* projects through support of Grids of high-performance and high-throughput computing.

The mission of EGI-Engage is to accelerate the implementation of the Open Science Commons vision, where researchers from all disciplines have easy and open access to the innovative digital services, data, knowledge and expertise they need for their work. The Open Science Commons is grounded on three pillars: the e-Infrastructure Commons, an ecosystem of key services; the Open Data Commons, where any researcher can access, use and reuse data; and the Knowledge Commons, in which communities have shared ownership of knowledge and participate in the co-development of software and are technically supported to exploit state-of-the-art digital services. EGI-Engage will expand the capabilities offered to scientists (e.g. improved cloud or data services) and the spectrum of its user base by engaging with large Research Infrastructures (RIs), the long-tail of science and industry/SMEs. The main engagement instrument will be a network of eight Competence Centres, where National Grid Initiatives (NGIs), user communities, technology and service providers will join forces to collect requirements, integrate community-specific applications into state-of-the-art services, foster interoperability across e-Infrastructures, and evolve services through a user-centric development model. The project will also coordinate the NGI efforts to support the long-tail of science by developing ad hoc access policies and by providing services and resources that will lower barriers and learning curves.
