Comment Neelie (Kroes)

[...] The practice of modern science needs the ICT tools and knowhow to analyse big data: and for us to be able to share interoperable, usable and trusted data sets across countries and disciplines. It needs high performance computers to conduct virtual experiments and forecasts. And it needs to enable remote access: whether to instruments, data, computing resources, or expert talent. For public authorities, the challenge is to adapt the way we support science: by giving scientists access to the tools, resources, reward systems and expertise they need.
