2024-12-12 –, Mission 1
In the coming decade, frontier research will generate massive data volumes, driving a need for advanced data processing, simulation, and analysis. High-Energy Physics and Radio Astronomy communities, launching new instruments, will require infrastructures far beyond today’s capabilities, entering the Exascale era. Meeting these needs demands innovative, data-intensive architectures and federated resource models, integrating HPC, HTC, cloud, and quantum computing. The SPECTRUM project (www.spectrumproject.eu) is developing a Strategic Research, Innovation, and Deployment Agenda (SRIDA) and a Technical Blueprint for a European compute and data continuum. This session will highlight SPECTRUM’s approach, achievements, and roadmap toward enabling federated Exabyte-scale scientific collaborations.
Sergio Andreozzi is the Head of Strategy, Innovation, and Communications at the EGI Foundation, which coordinates the EGI Federation to deliver advanced computing services to global research communities. In this role, Sergio leads EGI’s strategy development, innovation management, and governance initiatives. He also serves as Project Director of the EC-funded SPECTRUM project. Sergio holds an Executive Master in Research Infrastructure Management from the University of Milano-Bicocca, a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Bologna, and an MSc in Computer Science Engineering from the University of Pisa.
