E-Infrastructures Policy in EUE-Infrastructures Policy in EU
The European Council (March 2009) has allocated y €1 billion to invest in broadband in rural areas of the EU
Part of the European Economic Recovery Plan to reinforce the European economy and to reinforce Europe’s long-term competitiveness
Twin policy goals supported by investment in
broadband infrastructure:• supporting appropriate regional development• maximizing the potential of the whole European
economy

E-infrastructures and social E-infrastructures and social integrationintegration
Social integration will be supported by the provision of broadband services such as those relating to e-government or social networking
These are particularly important in rural areas, where geographical isolation is an important consideration
But a restricted focus on physical infrastructure is not sufficient

Broadband and skillsBroadband and skills
The DG Information Society 2007 conference “Bridging the Broadband Gap” identified in its conclusions:• “ICT skills and digital literacy are critical
to the effectiveness of any broadband strategy”
• Any large-scale strategic initiative on broadband must encompass a skills dimension

Physical infrastructure needs to be complemented with a skills
infrastructure
The investment in e-infrastructures must include a focus on skills development
The goal: to ensure that the maximum potential is extracted from the infrastructure once it is put in place

Which specific skills?Which specific skills?
Skills directly connected with economic development. Organisations and individuals search to move up the value chain
They engage in activities that will give them a substantial and secure economic return
Specialised ICT skills that support value-added activities: Internet services and e-business activity, mainly among SMEs

1111
Other abilitiesOther abilities
Common end-user ICT skills that uphold core business activities (e-mail, e-commerce activities, etc.)
Basic, introductory ICT skills that assist marginalised groups (i.g. the aged, the geographically isolated), to access essential Internet services (e-government, distance learning), and to engage in social networking

E-Infrastructure and E-ScienceE-Infrastructure and E-Science
By facilitating new scientific discoveries and innovation, e-Infrastructures are an essential tool in supporting the ‘Lisbon Strategy’ for sustainable growth and jobs
FP7 has built up a significant momentum for the deployment of e-Infrastructures
The goal is not only to strengthen scientific excellence, but also to promote innovation and industrial competitiveness

A hub for E-Science: 3 vectorsA hub for E-Science: 3 vectors
1. To reinforce EU´s research capacity in high-performance computing
2. To consolidate e-Infrastructures as research platforms to ensure research continuity
3. To focus on the innovation potential of e-Infrastructures
Dimensions to be explored: The transfer of expertise to areas beyond science (e.g.
e-Health, e-Government, e-Learning)The use of e-Infrastructures as cost-efficient platforms
for large-scale technological experimentation (e.g. Future Internet, massively parallel software, Living Labs)

SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGESKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE
Neither the mere production of technology nor the existence of technological infrastructure automatically leads to the creation of an information society
Without the relevant skills and knowledge, e-infrastructures may either not be used to their full potential or may not be used at all
