The AARC project (current funding runs from May 2016 to April 2019) aims to provide policy and technical guidelines to allow R&E scientific collaborations (referred to as research collaborations or research infrastructures) to enable federated access to their services and to inter-operate with each other. For simplicity we will refer to the previous AARC project as AARC1 and will instead use AARC for the current project.
We will often use the general term infrastructures to encompass both research collaborations and e-infrastructures.
AARC works concentrates on some key areas, namely:
Outreach and dissemination will complement the above work. During the first months the project has defined a dissemination strategy to ensure that key messages are promoted consistently throughout the AARC project.
To achieve this the project brings together 25 partners including national research and education networking (NREN) organisations, libraries, and research and education e-infrastructure.
Although funding is only available to project partners, AARC welcomes anybody who is interested in providing feedback to the AARC work.
