Increased trust, less confusion, added value

The 1st User Forum held on March 7-8, 2012, in Barcelona emphasized the importance of building trust across all levels of Research Infrastructures (RIs) and e-infrastructure initiatives. By fostering user-driven services and promoting collaboration, we aim to reduce confusion and enhance added value for users. It's crucial to address potential conflicts between different initiatives while leveraging existing projects. Recommendations include merging user forum activities, adopting transparent criteria for service decisions, and ensuring the interface remains user-friendly and clear.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Increased trust, less confusion, added value Kimmo Koski CSC – IT Center for Science Ltd Position statement, user forum November 18th, 2013

  2. Trust in all levels • Trust between RI and e-infra • Trust between different Ris • Trust between different e-infrastructure initiatives • User-driven services, requirement for synergy EVERY RI NEEDS TO DEAL WITH e-INFRASTRUCTURE

  3. Any danger for confusion?

  4. Addressing users, building bridges (example: EUDAT user forums) 1st User Forum 7-8 March 2012, Barcelona

  5. Potential for conflicts • What is the relation between this forum and others? • Need to build on existing initiatives, not ”yet an another policy group” • Where is the point when collaboration potential converts to harmful politics? • For example ”data intensive HPC” is today addressed also by PRACE • Networked models (”ecosystem”) instead of monoliths allows better inclusion or people • Clear and open criteria for choices • Examples: who will provide each service and how those decisions are made etc.

  6. Recommendations • Look for merging with other user forum activities and utilizing existing work • Include wider set of ”e-infrastructure acronyms” and try to make the interface less confusing to users • Promote open approach and clear selection criteria • Choices and pilots based on clear criteria, not based on ”since it happens to be there”. Some pilots have a tendency to become permanent. • Example from datacenter selection criteria: energy efficiency, environmental sustainability, running costs
