Vision – be the high-level body developing policies to reinforce and promote efforts to foster world-class ICT infrastructures
Goals - to build a network that will develop and strengthen cooperation and coordination between national e-infrastructures and smooth their efficient integration in the European Research Area. The project will establish an effective dialogue between national e-infrastructure programme owners and managers in Europe, at the European Commission level and globally.
Focus Areas
Cloud Computing – Dynamically scaleable and often virtualised resources.
Environmental and Green Computing – Environmentally sustainable computing or ICT
Openness -Open Access, Open Source, Open Borders and Open Opportunity

WORKSHOP PROCEEDINGS NOW AVAILABLE
The e-InfraNet project held a two day workshop around the Cloud agenda on the 29th and 30th of March 2011 in the Leuven Institute for Ireland in Europe, Leuven, Belgium.
The primary aims of the workshop were to identify key policy, technical and cultural issues associated with using the Cloud at the European, Governmental and Researcher levels. The workshop sought to identify in particular key national and EU collaboration issues that will promote more effective use of the cloud across the ERA and the priority areas for work to achieve this, including whether the EU should engage on a pan-European level, as a series of individual national initiatives or through collaborations between member and other states?
It examined the real opportunities that the cloud offers for researchers as well as the barriers both technical and non-technical that impede its application for the research community.
