D4Science World User Meeting

Later on this week GridCast are going to be flying to Rome to report on the D4Science World User Meeting.

D4Science-II , is developing the technology to enable interoperation of data e-Infrastructures that are running autonomously, thereby creating e-Infrastructure Ecosystems that will serve a significantly expanded set of communities dealing with multidisciplinary, scientific and societal challenges.

The World User Meeting gives participants the opportunity to:

• Follow up on opportunities and innovative projects implementing advanced e-Infrastructures for multi-disciplinary scientific communities;
• Share experiences, best practices and discuss the most recent advances in e-Infrastructures with emphasis on how to exploit possible synergies;
• Showcase the latest experiences in building dynamic monitoring progress reports and the most recent results in harmonisation and combination of distributed structured data sources for generation of enhanced indicators;
• Identify the perspectives of the user communities and discuss the road map for D4Science-II Virtual Research Environments.

We'll be covering the event on 25-26 November 2009. Hope to see you there!
