Finally, this is the text about EGI LW CC from EGI-ENGAGE proposal:
One of the main goals of the LifeWatch EGI CC is to capture and address the requirements of Biodiversity and Ecosystems research communities.
To achieve this the CC will
- deploy cloud and GPGPU based e-Infrastructure services required to support data management, data processing and modelling for Ecological Observatories,
- explore possibilities to increase the participation of citizens in data-intensive biodiversity research,
- facilitate the adoption and exploitation of the EGI infrastructure by the LifeWatch user community.
