On 6th October the High-Level Group on Scientific Data presented their
final report to Neelie Kroes, European Commission Vice-President for the
Digital Agenda. The report "Riding the Wave: How Europe can gain from
the rising tide of scientific data" is the result of six months of
intense brainstorming and consultations with experts around the world to
prepare a "vision 2030" for Scientific Data e-Infrastructures.
A new report E-Science and Data Support Services: A Study of ARL Member Institutions from the U.S. Association of Research Libraries provides a snapshot portrait of institutions' services to support e-research and data curation. The report is published on the ARA website.
