D4Science-II

The recently published press release entitled ‘D4Science-II drives forward the science e-resource revolution’ has been translated into seven languages (French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Polish and Spanish), in order to increase the awareness and understanding of the D4Science’s global user communities and to capture greater Internet audience.

The new EU-funded project D4Science-II ('Data infrastructure ecosystem for science') has held its kick-off meeting from 13 to 16 October in Pisa, Italy. It is set to establish 'virtual research environments' that will offer significantly enhanced services to scientists without high development and maintenance costs.

D4Science-II started on October 1st 2009 as one of the main European e-Infrastructure projects, involving 10 participants such as the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). Co-funded by the European Commission's Seventh Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development, the D4Science-II project will hold its kick-off meeting 13-16 October 2009 in Pisa, Italy.

The D4Science-II kick-off meeting will be held in Pisa in October 2009.
