The recently published #ESFRI Landscape Analysis 2024 recognises the critical role of GÉANT and #NRENs in supporting #research and #education in and beyond #Europe: https://lnkd.in/dAaDz-Wh Alongside the high-performance backbone #network and international #connectivity offered by GÉANT and NRENs, the ESFRI report highlights the indispensable role of #Trust and #Identity services as #eduroam and #eduGAIN, as well as the importance of storage, computing and security services offered by NRENs. The GÉANT Association is also considered a positive example of European integration and collaboration: “More than just an Infrastructure for e-Science, GÉANT […] supports open #innovation, #collaboration and knowledge sharing amongst its members, partners and the wider research and education networking community.” ESFRI - European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures EU Science, Research and Innovation #eInfrastructures #eInfras #TrustAndIdentity #researchers #ResearchInfrastructures #LHC #LHCONE CERN 📄 Full #ESFRILandscape2024 report available at https://lnkd.in/et6ivaga

THE IIMPORTANT PROJECTS OF #COMMONEUROPEANINTEREST# (JEF-IPCEI) The most evidence example of real European Common Interest are, on my personal view, the so called Important Projects of Common European Interest (#!JEF-IPCE#I)_ Some Member Atates working together in a projrt of common interest. For this reason wellcoming this Forum forJEF-IPCEI The forum brings together experts froC# on we are satisfie ti share in this post from the Competition Weekly e-new (15/3/2024-)

The battle is on: Multi-IMSI vs eUICC. In this latest blog, floLIVE’s Luigi Capobianco reviews the differences between the two and the role they play in driving global connectivity forward. Delve into the challenges and benefits of both here: https://lnkd.in/daF-We6K Let’s explore contender number one: Multi-IMSI. #Connectivity #MultiIMSI #eUICC #GlobalConnectivity

The All NEMO Committee held its second Annual Conference on September 19th in Athens 🇬🇷, a city renowned for its rich cultural heritage, as Greece is the cradle of Western democracy, philosophy, and the arts 🏛️. 📣In this context, I would like to share some messages: ✅ There was #unanimous #support for the Electricity Market Design Reform #EMDReform. Though it was initiated during a challenging time for Europe, it has produced highly positive results👏. #NEMOs have been recognized as one of the key pillars of the EMD reform, which acknowledges the benefits of the current Single Day-ahead #SDAC and Intraday #SIDC Couplings. These have contributed significantly to well-functioning short-term markets across Europe 🇪🇺 ⚠️ It is crucial to ensure that the review process for capacity allocation and congestion management #CACM safeguards the #operational #security and reliability of our #SDAC & #SIDC, building on the solid foundation of existing market coupling governance. ✅ The extension of our #SDAC & #SIDC to the #EnergyCommunity #Contracting parties is one of the most relevant projects #NEMOs are dealing with. ✅ In June, #NEMOs, in collaboration with #TSOs, successfully implemented Intraday Auctions #IDAs at the EU level, introducing a new market segment that offers Europe #enhanced #trading #opportunities within the intraday time horizon 🕒 ✅ We are also dedicating significant resources to implementing the #15minute Market Time Unit (#MTU) in SDAC #Next_year 🗓️. This crucial development will provide greater time #granularity to all market participants ⏱️ ✅ The European institutions can rely on the continued support of NEMOs in this new 🇪🇺#EU cycle 🔄. The All NEMO Committee is committed to offering its full support and expertise to President Von der Leyen and the future College of Commissioners. ✅Various elements of the #EUGreenDeal rely on a market-based approach, and our #SDAC and #SIDC mechanisms are delivering the right signals for Europeans to invest in low-carbon technologies 🌍🔋 #MoreEurope 🇪🇺 and #MoreMarkets will be pivotal in delivering a decarbonized 🌱 and competitive EU 💪

📊 Excited to share our ‘Needs Assessment Report’ from the EBSI-VECTOR project! 🌍 The EBSI-Vector project is advancing #EBSI use cases in education and social security domains for full implementation across Europe. This report provides a comprehensive look at institutional and use case-specific needs for implementation. Our survey with public officials, country representatives, and project owners within the EBSI ecosystem revealed key insights: 🔍 Value Recognition vs. Bureaucratic Resistance: Despite some resistance, the value of EBSI for public services, confidence-building, and business enhancement is clear. More clarity in regulations and increased interoperability are crucial for wider adoption. 🎓Education Sector: While high standardization in European education eases implementation, capacity constraints and knowledge gaps remain. Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) show greater readiness, while secondary education needs more effort. 🏥Social Security Sector: Implementation is complex due to the digital divide. Tailored strategies for digital readiness and organisational preparedness are needed. 💡 Recommendations: - Prioritise investments in workforce development, regulatory clarity, and stakeholder engagement. - Enhance communication and awareness initiatives to overcome bureaucratic resistance. 🚀 Upcoming Developments in 2024: #Europeum: Launched in May 2024, Europeum will be crucial for creating a production-grade network for EBSI use cases. #eIDAS 2.0: eIDAS 2.0 will clarify the #QTSP requirements for EBSI Vector use cases. Our collaboration with the European Blockchain Sandbox is shedding light on the best approaches for an eIDAS-compliant EBSI use case. 🙏 Special thanks to all partners of European Blockchain Services Infrastructure (EBSI), Jose Manuel Panizo Plaza, Daniël Du Seuil, Roman Beck, Signe Agerskov, Dr. Tamara Roth, Michael Räckers, Steffen Schwalm, Nacho Alamillo Domingo, Nena Dokuzov, Piotr Rutkowski, Christophe M., Digital Credentials For Europe, INATBA - International Association for Trusted Blockchain Applications, Vincenzo Savarino, Nuria Rodríguez López, PMP®, SMPC®, KU Leuven Public Governance Institute 📄 Read the full report here: https://lnkd.in/e2SxayDZ #EBSI #Blockchain #PublicAdministration #DigitalTransformation

Last week NORF launched Ireland’s National Persistent Identifier (PID) Strategy and Roadmap 'Impact, Openness, Interoperability: Recommendations and a Roadmap for an Irish National PID Strategy'. "The launch of this roadmap is a very welcome development. A coordinated approach to the adoption and implementation of PIDs will help to make quality Irish research more visible globally and to better understand its impact and the impact of Ireland’s investment in research." - Susan Reilly, Director at IReL, Maynooth University. Read and download the PID Strategy and Roadmap via the NORF website: https://lnkd.in/eC8dihAJ The report, which was prepared by MoreBrains Cooperative the NORF PID Task Force, presents recommendations and detailed actions aimed at establishing a more efficient, transparent, and open research ecosystem in Ireland, spanning the period until 2030. #OpenResearch #NationalOpenResearchForum

I personally welcome this initiative and I find IPCEIs as a smart, efficient and innovative way for approving state aid to strategically important and for specific industry sectors beyond state-of-art innovations. #IPCEIonHydrogen# #IPCEIonBatteries# #IPCEIonMicroelectronics# #IPCEIonCloudInfrastructureServices# #IPCEIonHealth# #IPCEIon..# what’s next?

Yesterday marked the inaugural high-level meeting of the Joint European Forum for Important Projects of Common European Interest (JEF-IPCEI) organized by the European Commission 👇 IPCEIs empower Member States to collaborate and coordinate resources, allowing breakthrough innovations and advancing major infrastructure projects to achieve common European objectives 💶 🚀 🔍 The forum aims to increase the effectiveness of IPCEIs and to identify relevant strategic technologies or infrastructures for potential future IPCEIs. 🤝 The JEF-IPCEI brings together experts from Member States, EFTA states and the Commission services. The first two technical meetings of the JEF took place in October 2023 and January 2024.     Discussions at the meeting led to the establishment of a comprehensive work plan for 2024, with a focus on achieving tangible outcomes by year-end 🎯 📌 Notably, participants explored the identification of new potential candidate technologies or infrastructures for future IPCEIs. 👩💼 👨💼 Member State authorities and the Commission services will now conduct further collaborative efforts implementing the work plan to improve the IPCEI process and identify potential future IPCEIs.
