PHENET at EGI Foundation Side Event at ICRI 2024
The European Grid Infrastructure, the federation of computing and storage resource providers united by a mission of delivering advanced computing and data analytics services for research and innovation, will host a side event at the International Conference on Research Infrastructures 2024, on Monday, 2 December 2 – 5 pm Brisbane time.

The session will explore how digital tools and services empower RIs, focusing on interoperable data sharing, AI integration, computing needs, and scaling-up data valorisation. We’ll discuss how the RIs can leverage digital advancements for impactful scientific collaboration and research data management and how to address emerging computing needs to maximise the global impact of RIs. PHENET will be one of several European projects showcases in the first part of the session, representing different stages of digital transformation. The second part will feature a panel discussion exploring global perspectives on RI digitalisation. This will involve hearing from experts outside of Europe, discussing the exchange and alignment of practices, and considering how European solutions can be adapted and scaled for broader impact.
