3. Motive
• Cloud cloud cloud — data explosion
• Sharing sharing sharing — connectivity explosion
• Go go go — study + work + play + collaborate +
organize + share + et cetera
• Collaboration is key to you and your team’s
success!

4. New core business
• Modern universities are developing towards loose
conglomerates of (inter)discipline expertise
• Collaboration is therefore a core business
• Scientific collaboration involves groups of people
in multiple institutions, disciplines and countries
• Collaboration is about using shared services and
resources
Virtual Collaboration* = People + Groups +
Resources + Services + Policies + Funding + ...
*a.k.a. Virtual Organization

5. Distributed landscape
• Modern science combines resources from multiple
sources across multiple (administrative) domains
‣ The core resources are within one virtual
collaboration domain, but within multiple
institutions, and
‣ the generic collaboration services can be found
in 'the cloud'

6. Virtual Collaborations and
Partnerships
• Virtual Research Team Virtual Laboratory
- Focussed on doing research
Virtual Project
- Small scale
Virtual Colla-
- Temporary and elastic boration
- Little ICT awareness
- Users Virtual Breeding Environment
• “Virtual” Infrastructure Provider
- Focussed on providing infrastructure for specific discipline
- Well-organized with grands and budgets
- Longer term
- Better ICT awareness
- Not virtual (ESFRI projects, CLARIN, Lifewatch, LOFAR,
NBIC)
