EUDAT
EUDAT is an European project, co-funded within the 7th Framework
Programme. It includes funding agencies that invest in research
infrastructures and programmes of research, infrastructure operators
and research communities who rely on the availability of
data-management services, national data centres and providers of
connectivity and, of course, the users who rely on the availability of
data and services, innovators who add value to the raw results of
scientific research.
CINECA is the fourth partner, among 25, in terms of planned effort and
it is involved in the main technical work packages. In particular it
leads the activities related to technology appraisal and service
provisioning.
Cineca, with the INGV, represent EPOS community
The EUDAT consortium includes representatives from each stage of the value chain that has evolved to deliver scientific knowledge to researchers, citizens, industry and society as a whole. It comprises 25 European partners, including data centers, technology providers, and research communities and funding agencies from 13 countries.

The EUDAT project receives funding from the EU's Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/2007-2013) under grant agreement n° 283304
36 months starting from 1st of October
EUDAT is a three-year project that will deliver a Collaborative Data Infrastructure (CDI) with the capacity and capability for meeting future researchers’ needs in a sustainable way. Its design will reflect a comprehensive picture of the data service requirements of the research communities in Europe and beyond. This will become increasingly important over the next decade as we face the challenges of massive expansion in the volume of data being generated and preserved (the so-called ‘data tsunami’) and in the complexity of that data and the systems required to provide access to it.
