National research e-infrastructure landscape and trends

Abstract

The presentation describes the leading role played by the University of Zagreb Computing Center (SRCE) in the development of the research e-infrastructure framework in Croatia. This effort involves the integration and interconnection of computational hardware and software technology, data resources and services, communications protocols and networks, as well as the human resources and organisational structures required to support modern, internationally leading collaborative research. The emerging national-level e-infrastructure in Croatia is outlined with an emphasis on Open Science implementation, including initiatives like the Croatian Open Science Cloud (HR-OOZ) and the CroRIS national CRIS currently under development.
