30 EU-LAT WinCo Conferencia: Mexico DF, MEXICO 13/04/2005 – 15/04/2005 Integrated Project - what is critical mass? Resource wise (Open): –will have the necessary size to achieve its ambitious objectives –budget may range up to millions of € (no minimum threshold, provided necessary ambition & critical mass is achieved) Partnership wise (Open): –minimum 3 participants from three different countries (but in practice likely to be substantially more) Duration wise (Open): –typically three to five years (more if necessary to deliver the objectives) In a typical integrated project, more than 25 partners receive almost 10 M€ for a period of 3-4 years to which they add an equivalent amount as the Community funds only 50% of the costs.

31 EU-LAT WinCo Conferencia: Mexico DF, MEXICO 13/04/2005 – 15/04/2005 Integrated Projects - flexibility & autonomy For the implementation plan, each year – consortium will propose detailed plans for the coming 18 months – and may propose to update the overall plan (both need approval of the Commission to enter into force) For the Community contribution – the contract may not specify its distribution between participants nor between activities For changes in the consortium – the consortium may decide to take in new participants (without additional funding) – the contract will specify when the addition of new participants must involve a competitive call – competitive call by Commission to add tasks and funding

32 EU-LAT WinCo Conferencia: Mexico DF, MEXICO 13/04/2005 – 15/04/2005 Objetivo: Integración duradera de las capacidades de los grupos de investigación, construyendo una masa crítica de recursos y conocimientos para conseguir un liderazgo europeo en un área.

57 EU-LAT WinCo Conferencia: Mexico DF, MEXICO 13/04/2005 – 15/04/2005 Environmental modelling  Modelling of the biosphere with more and more biotic and abiotic components will be a great challenge.  Climatic research (space weather included) with models in different scales and different resolution will require new architectures with access to distributed resources.  Branch oriented simulation systems will be the adequate software tools, allowing flexible adaptation to the special structure and data of complex environmental systems

58 EU-LAT WinCo Conferencia: Mexico DF, MEXICO 13/04/2005 – 15/04/2005 Environmental Applications  Complexity (dimension(s), structure(s))  Scale (amount of data, distribution, heterogeneity)  Modelling for different purposes (scenario analysis, emergency response, risk management, etc…)  Need for adaptability (coupling of models, parameter adjustment, etc)  Longevity of data, applicability to different purposes

59 EU-LAT WinCo Conferencia: Mexico DF, MEXICO 13/04/2005 – 15/04/2005 Research Priorities » Parallel, distributed and Grid computing » Knowledge from data, decision support » Intelligent/adaptive user interfaces & visualisation » Standardisation of metadata and system interfaces » Genericity of information and simulation systems » Workflows for automatic access to distributed resources
