iMarine: An innovative approach to data & knowledge sharing for sustainable fisheries management and conservation policies

Climate change, overfishing, natural and manmade disasters, and loss of habitat all threaten the biodiversity of our oceans. There is an urgent need for more effective management to ensure sustainable fisheries for future generations and to maintain biodiversity in the oceans by protecting the entire ecosystem. iMarine (www.i-marine.eu) is gaining traction as a very important initiative driving smarter, more efficient and cost-effective approaches for a sustainable future while maintaining responsibility towards nature.

A big cloud for big science

Helix Nebula - the Science Cloud is a new European collaboration to provide computing platforms to propel science. As a result, research should be faster and cheaper to perform, such as setting up an earthquake analysis system in a day instead of a month or simpler analysis of large genomes from mammals.

Placing a price-tag on e-infrastructure

As funders consider how to best invest in the future of e-infrastructure, a number of questions arise: How much does e-infrastructure cost? How much impact does it have, and are funders getting value for their money? A number of projects are working to find concrete answers to these and other questions, at a time when getting an accurate price has never been more crucial to a sustainable future for scientific computing.
