Le regioni “Convergenza"
The goals of the cohesion policy 2007/2013
Convergence:
This goal refers to member states whose annual production value, averaged over all
inhabitants, is less than 75% of the European union average.
The goal is, of course, to decrease this difference.
To reach the above mentioned goal, each
membnre state has to act at regional level.
In Italym there are four regions which are
eligible for european benefits, that is european
fundings: Campania, Puglia, Calabria and
Sicilia.

The PON - Programma Operativo Nazionale
Research and competitivity, 2007-2013
The National Operational Programme «Research and Competitivity» 20072013 (PON "R&C") is the organizational tool used in Italy to implement the
cohesion policy. It is only devoted to the four «converging» regions.
A significative part of the european fundings will be devoted to research
activities, with the aim to stimulate the local companies.
The overall sum to share is 6 billion euros, to share between public research
institutions and private companies.
The R&C Programme is divided into several subactivities, as shown below (picture taken from
ministry sources, www.ponrec.it):

Changes in itinere


The SuperB project was cancelled in october 2012
The other research group are still active and need support

A new major user was introduced: the L H C experimens (ATLAS; CMS; ALICE;
LHCb).

ReCaS will be for the next three years the main computing facility in Italy for LHC

Pledged resources (CPU, storage) for ATLAS and CMS and ALICE

agli esperimenti LHC

alle applicazioni scientifiche dei tre enti (INFN, UniNA e UniBA)

ad altre applicazioni per le Imprese e la Pubblica amministrazione,
Everything will be done in collaboration with other important institutions, e.g. GARR for
internetworking and for the general scientific Italian cloud to.
Note: the GARR Consortium has a new organziational structure, with a Network Department and a
Computing Department

CONCLUSIONS
•
ReCaS will soon become a running infrastructure.
•
•
The reference user is a scientist working on LHC experiments
All physics experiments can be supported, thanks to a grid/cloud
mixed environment
•
The computing model of each experiment must be investigated to
understand how to make the best use of ReCaS
•
ReCaS has to be integrated with new GARR infrastructure (also in
southern Italy)
