“We will promote research for food and agriculture, including research to
adapt to, and mitigate climate change, and access to research results and technologies at national, regional and international levels.
We will reinvigorate national research systems and will share information and best practices.
We will improve access to knowledge”
Heads of State and Government, World Summit on Food Security, Rome, November 2009
Our Mandate
1621/05/2015
Welcome aginfra.eu
• The European hub for data-powered research on agriculture, food and the environmenta) a research data sharing help desk &
service point for H2020 projects in our thematic areas
b) a big (research) data machine & stack of technologies
c) an ecosystem for research data scientists, developers, startups
1821/05/2015
(a) H2020 research data service point
• aiming towards a community-specific reference point for research & academic institutions carrying out work with funding from the H2020 framework programme– domain-specific support on implementation of EC’s
(and other donors) Open Access requirements, Data Management Plans, etc.
– help publishing & linking research outcomes from H2020 projects (esp. publications, research data sets)
– serve as a hub for disseminating research outcomes to EU and global e-infrastructures (i.e. OpenAIRE, AGRIS)
2121/05/2015
(b) Big research data machine
• aiming to provide the distributed technology stack & e-infrastructure for big data acquisition, aggregation, processing, and visualisation– developers, data scientists, software
companies may use customised big data technology stack & hosted software components through open APIs
– e-infrastructure providers collaborate & share cloud/grid resources for agricultural research experimentation & applications

Scale up into open & federated registries
Meta-registry platform federating all existing registries & making information discoverable
Registries of data sources
Federated data registry
Federated information providers
Registries of bibliographic
collections
Federated pubs registry
Registries of software apps/components
Federated software registry
…etc
