EISCAT_3D Support (E3DS) project Stakeholder Forum

Time/Location

Thursday November 5th 2015, Arlanda SkyCity Conference Centre. 09h00 to 16h00

Objectives for the meeting

The E3DS stakeholder forum gathers representatives from the NeIC EISCAT_3D Support project, NeIC, EISCAT, EISCAT_3D users, national e-Infrastructure providers and network providers in order to achieve two goals:

1. to update eachother about progress of projects and e-Infrastructure roadmaps, and
2. to intensify the collaboration between the EISCAT_3D Support project and the providers for network and e-Infrastructure

to ensure the requirements of the distributed e-Infrastructure for EISCAT_3D can be met.
