GRDI2020 was present at ICT2010, 27-29 September 2010, Brussels, Belgium, with an exhibition stand in the ICT  Connects  area - SDI: Scientific Data Infrastructures - Empowering research in the data-driven Age.

This was a technology or research stand, located in Zone R4 - ICT Connects. Stand number: R4-04

The availability of an unprecedented amount of experimental data poses new problems related to its storage, management and preservation.

Problems concerning the storage, management, search and preservation of data have a direct impact on the efficiency of obtaining results and transferring them into products and services. As a result, scientific data is now a priority in the European Commission’s FP7.

GRDI2020 (towards a 10-year vision for global research data) together with a group of scientific data infrastructure projects – D4Science-II, DRIVER II,  HELIO, IMPACT, METAFOR, OpenAIRE, PARSE.Insight and SEALS – demonstrated data infrastructure solutions spanning multiple-user communities and scientific disciplines, from astronomy to digital libraries, and biology to climate change.

At the stand major representatives from all the projects were present and offered to the audience all the details related to their projects, all the latest news and information in the field of data research infrastructures and specific application domains.

As ICT2010 was a paperless event a Virtual Goody Bag with electronic resources has been created and a  broad series of branded gadgets were distributed at the stand.
