The initiative Bringing Europe’s electronic infrastructures to expanding frontiers II (BELIEF-II) is a twenty four month Coordination Action (CA) of the INFRA-2007-3.3: Studies, conferences and coordination actions supporting policy development, including international cooperation, for eInfrastructures. It builds on the success achieved in BELIEF [2005-2007] and has as its strategic objective to coordinate the efficient & effective communication, Results, Networking & Knowledge Flow between EU e-Infrastructures projects and their users, promoting their development and exploitation worldwide. Through adopting a structured coordination of all EU e-Infrastructures projects, dissemination and networking activities, BELIEF-II seeks to: 1. Ensure Europe’s numerous e-Infrastructures projects evolve in synergy with one another together with national initiatives to ensure common directions and efficient interaction. 2. Reinforce the relevance of Europe’s e-Infrastructures worldwide thus helping sustain their successful development and exploitation globally. 3. Provide a communication platform that is at the same time a channel for projects to manage their content, to communicate activities to users and the public, and to be a unique access point for users to find out about eInfrastructures.
