The Joint ECFA-NuPECC-APPEC Computing Initiative had a workshop on 12-14 June 2023 in Bologna: https://agenda.infn.it/event/34738/
At the Joint ECFA-NuPECC-APPEC (JENA) Seminar in May 2022 in Madrid (https://indico.cern.ch/event/1040535/), both the plenary presentations and the closed session of funding agency representatives revealed that there is an increased need for discussions on the strategy and implementation of European federated computing at future large-scale research facilities. In particular, synergies between the three fields should be identified, as well as computing requirements in the next decade, where all three communities (particle physics, nuclear physics and astroparticle physics) as well as neighbouring research fields such as astrophysics or cosmology can benefit.
Main conclusion at the Bologna-Workshop was the creation of five working groups in order to coordinate a white paper as input fo rthe next JENA Symposium:
HTC, WLCG and HPC (HPC)
Software and Heterogeneous Architectures (Software)
Federate Data Management, Virtual Research Environments and FAIR/Open Data (Data)
Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Training, Dissemination, Education (TDE)
Here registration for WP3 (you will be contacted for further actions):
Federate Data Management, Virtual Research Environments and FAIR/Open Data (Data): very positive feedback about the work done in ESCAPE in this area. The ESCAPE collaboration should be leveraged to strengthen synergies between the three sciences around data management and federated identities. The ECFA, NuPECC and APPEC chairs are in the ESCAPE advisory board and will recommend that ESCAPE focuses on those areas and the evolution of the tools and services for the next decade.
