e-Infrastructure
The term e-Infrastructure refers to the research environment in which all researchers
- whether working in the context of their home institutions or in national or
multinational scientific initiatives - have shared access to unique or distributed
scientific facilities (including data, instruments, computing and communications),
regardless of their type and location in the country and in the world.
