•••1European Commission DG INFSOUnit “GÉANT and eInfrastructures”
Fundamentals of EU economy sound:public deficits more than halved since 2005public debt declined to just under 60%.Economic growth reached 2,9% in 2007 (but likely to be
lower this year)6,5 million jobs created in the last two years
However, global economic outlook deteriorated recently(slowdown economic activity in US, higher oil & commodityprices, ongoing turbulence on financial markets)
Essential for EU to sustain reform efforts:complete and deepen internal marketEconomic & financial policies to be geared towards ensuring
macroeconomic stability; further improve supervisory &
regulatory environment at national, EU & global levelAddress challenges like ageing populations, climate change
and energy

EU Council Spring 2008 political agenda
Launching of 20082010 cycle of Lisbon Strategy for growthand jobs four priority areas:
investing in people and modernising labour markets;unlocking business potential;investing in knowledge and innovation;energy and climate change
Focus on implementation measures on:“Fifth freedom”–removing barriers to free movement of
knowledgeSmall Business ActFlexicurity, lifelong learningClimate and energy: unbundling internal energy market,
greenhouse gas reductions, new emissions tradingscheme, renewable energies

EU Council, Spring 2008Scientific einfrastructure and highspeed internet usage mustbe significantly increasedParticular attention should be given to further initiatives forjoint programming of research, mutually complementaryinternational S&T cooperation strategies and the strengtheningof research infrastructure of panEuropean interest
EU Council, Dec 2007CALLS on Member States to engage more actively in theimplementation of panEuropean research infrastructures

References to RI/eInfrastructure
EU Competitiveness Council, Nov 2007
INVITES Member States to encourage public and privateresearch institutions to make full use of the emergingdistributed forms of research activity (namely eScience) basedupon international research networks made possible by theavailability and worldclass unique quality of distributedEuropean network infrastructures like GEANT and GRID
INVITES cofunding of research infrastructures, in particularby linking digital repositories at European level and cofundingresearch on digital preservation within FP7; supportingexperiments with open access with a clear crossborder addedvalue
INVITES Member States, with support from the Commissionwhere appropriate, to develop and strengthen their nationalroadmaps and strategies on RI taking into account a longtermvision of European science and the work undertaken by theESFRI and considering, when appropriate, an efficient use ofthe structural funds to this objective

Scientific DataInfrastructure
GÉANT
Deployment of a broad European multidisciplinary scientific datainfrastructure able to be easily federated with other knowledgeinfrastructures in other parts of the world, building upon the
achievements of network and grid infrastructures and opening itsbenefits to other potential research areas such as ehealth, elearning
and others
Further deployment and evolutionof the panEuropean high
capacity and highperformancecommunication network
(GÉANT), in close articulationwith the (NRENs), building upon
the current world leadershipand addressing the ever growing
requirements of advancedscientific communities
