Empowering Research Infrastructures for Global Impact: Digital Tools and Collaborative Solutions

EGI Foundation Side Event at ICRI 2024, in Brisbane, Australia

In today’s global scientific landscape, collaboration and interoperability are essential. Research Infrastructures across the globe play a crucial role in advancing scientific knowledge, but they need advanced digital solutions to reach their full potential.

This session will explore how digital tools and services empower RIs, focusing on interoperable data sharing, AI integration, computing needs, and scaling-up data valorisation. We’ll discuss how the RIs can leverage digital advancements for impactful scientific collaboration and research data management and how to address emerging computing needs to maximise the global impact of RIs.

Join us to discover how digital innovation can transform your Research Infrastructure.

Agenda

The first part of the session will showcase a range of European projects representing different stages of digital transformation:

ENVRI-Hub NEXT is creating the essential foundation for interoperable environmental data and services, enabling other projects and RIs to deliver maximum impact.

iMagine delivers advanced AI-powered image analysis tools and services for RIs, demonstrating the immediate benefits of digital adoption in aquatic sciences.

RI-SCALE, launching next year, will pioneer the use of AI-powered Data Exploitation Platforms to unlock the full potential of big scientific data.
SPECTRUM is gathering insights into future computing needs to ensure that physics and astrophysics RIs are equipped for the challenges of the coming decades.
PHENET will share real-world challenges and opportunities in managing and analysing large phenotyping datasets, highlighting the critical need for advanced digital tools and interoperable infrastructures.

The second part will feature a panel discussion exploring global perspectives on RI digitalisation.

We will hear additional perspectives from outside Europe, discuss exchange and alignment of practices and how the solutions developed in these European projects can be adapted and scaled for broader impact, fostering international collaboration and knowledge sharing.

By identifying common challenges and opportunities, we aim to create a roadmap for future Digital infrastructure services and RI development.
