"The BELIEF symposia constitute the principal “international dissemination" dimension of the project and serve to reinforce the relevance of Europe’s e-Infrastructures globally. The symposia will offer a platform to EU projects and activities in key regions, connecting with EU e-Infrastructures where user communities can benefit hugely from adoption of these research technologies."

Infrastructures for e-Science: 7th Concertation Meeting

The 7th e-Infrastructure Concertation Meeting is an event organised by the Commission with the support of the BELIEF-II project and with the active participation of projects in the e-Infrastructures area.

This event brings together the e-Infrastructures' community in order to take stock of the current developments and to discuss the future orientations. The ultimate aim is to develop world-class e-Infrastructures as part of a strategy to achieve European leadership in e-Science.
