SPECTRUM Community of Practice launched

Creating a connected community of scientists and infrastructure managers to work towards a mutual understanding of future needs, associated challenges and their possible solutions

The amount of data gathered, shared and processed in frontier research is set to increase steeply in the coming decade, leading to unprecedented data processing, simulation and analysis needs. In particular, High Energy Physics and Radio Astronomy are gearing up for groundbreaking instruments, necessitating infrastructures many times larger than the current capabilities. In this context, the EU-funded SPECTRUM project brings together leading European science organisations and e-Infrastructure providers to formulate a Strategic Research, Innovation, and Deployment Agenda (SRIDA) along with a Technical Blueprint for a European computer and data continuum. This collaborative effort is set to create an Exabyte-scale research data federation and compute continuum, fostering data-intensive scientific collaborations across Europe.

The SPECTRUM Community of Practice (CoP) aims to create a connected community of scientists and infrastructure managers having a mutual understanding of future needs, associated challenges and their possible solutions.

The goal of the CoP is to serve as a discussion forum across the HEP and RA domains to identify common directions for the design and operations of future systems, agreed processing models and solutions, and to provide feedback on investment to funding agencies and policy makers.
