  e-Infrastructures" at TNC 2016

DESCRIPTION:The EC funded MAGIC\, Sci-GaIA and TANDEM projects will join f
 orces to promote the cross-border collaboration needed to develop global r
 esearch infrastructures for 2020 and beyond\, and showcase the development
  and operation of research e-infrastructures in different world regions\; 
 introducing their approaches on these issues and stimulating discussions a
 bout the benefits of developing new world class research e-Infrastructures
  for the R&D communities. \n\nThey will underline the necessity of establi
 shing e-infrastructures as a sustainable utility and exploiting them as a 
 factor of innovation to ensure that the wider global scientific community 
 is part of a truly connected world. \n\nTANDEM (TransAfrican Network Devel
 opment) will create favourable conditions for WACREN\, enabling it to draw
  maximum benefit from the forthcoming AfricaConnect2 project and ensuring 
 it’s integration into the global REN community and its long-term sustain
 ability. It aims to make it possible for researchers and academics to cont
 ribute with their peers around the world to the socio-economic development
  of the West and Central African Region.\n\nSci-GaIA (Engerising Scientifi
 c Endeavour Though Science Gateways and e-Infrastructures in Africa) aims 
 to work with African Communities of Practice to build sustainable Science 
 Gateways and supporting e-Infrastructure services and to help African scie
 ntists to promote and disseminate their works through the adoption of the 
 Open Science paradigm. \n\nMAGIC (Middleware for collaborative Applicatio
 ns and Global vIrtual Communities) aims to significantly improve the abili
 ty of researchers and academics around the world to collaborate together\;
  it is working to expand the global reach of eduroam and identity infrastr
 uctures for the academia and on establishing middleware which will enable 
 NRENs to share services and real-time applications for international and i
 nter-continental research groups via a common marketplace\; at its heart a
 re Global Science Communities. \n\nhttps://indico.wacren.net/event/44/
