“…Climate research on this scale contains huge datasets from numerous sources and running multiple scenarios on supercomputers or 'gridded' machines (networks of computers working together in a computational grid) across the world (Whitmire, 2013). These largescale revolutionary digital platforms underpin many of today's scientific advances from the initial concept to the production of scientific outputs (Andronico et al, 2011;David et al, 2006;Karasti et al, 2010;Monteiro et al, 2013;Schroeder, 2007) and have been promoted under different labels in different contexts. For instance, in the United States (US) such research infrastructures are referred to as 'cyberinfrastructures', in the United Kingdom (UK) 'e-Science' infrastructures and in Europe 'e-infrastructures' (Schroeder et al, 2007).…”

“…In this context, e-infrastructures can be conceptualized as information infrastructures and play an increasing role in the advancement of knowledge and technology and their utilization by allowing interoperability in networked IT-service delivery (David et al, 2006;Eriksson and Goldkuhl, 2013;Luo and Olson, 2008;Spyridonis et al, 2015). Hanseth and Lyytinen (2010, p.4) define the notion of e-Infrastructure as follows: 'a shared, open (and unbounded), heterogeneous and evolving socio-technical system consisting of a set of IT capabilities and their users, operations and design communities'.…”

“…e-Infrastructures and cyberinfrastructures are more strongly associated with Foster's conceptualization of 'The Grid' (Foster et al, 2001) and may be thought of as networked research services conceptualized as a research infrastructure for e-Science. Another associated term, e-Research, is sometimes used as a more generic term than e-Science, and has similar goals of using leading edge computing tools to promote collaboration and achieve scalable and sustainable solutions (David et al, 2006;Karasti et al, 2010;Schroeder, 2007).…”

National research and education networks (NRENs) play a critical role in the development of communication network infrastructure and networked services for researchers and educators. They help close ‘digital divides’ between and within countries and are an essential factor for national and international development. In collaboration with the West and Central African Research and Education Network (WACREN), the TANDEM project has developed a roadmap for the development of NRENs in the region. This was based on the results of a survey that was conducted to investigate user requirements of networked services. The analysis of the 561 responses to a three-part questionnaire divided into 11 education, 22 research and 2 technical management questions identified key educational and research service needs. This article reports on the results of the survey with respect to research services. Highlights include respondents wanting regular access to online conference and academic articles (89%), a range of research services including online library resources, video conferencing, collaboration tools, online data access and storage, online library resources and inter-university login (>87%), access to remote computing facilities (80%) and high performance computing facilities (77%). A desire to share data with others online (74%) was also identified. Respondents also indicated that they would like to access research services through a range of device types–Laptops (96%), Fixed PC (86%) and Mobile Devices (81%). Poor network connectivity was consistently identified as being a major barrier to research in the region.

Open Science (OS) has been rapidly evolving in recent years, but there is still work to be done to return Science to researchers and citizens who pay for it. Technological advancements have enabled Open Science to transform the way scientific research is conducted, facilitating collaboration and innovation among researchers. As a result, OS is expected to play an increasingly important role in scientific research and innovation in the years to come, driving discoveries and advancements in various fields. However, OS also poses challenges, including the potential for bias and discrimination in research. This chapter explores the challenges that need to be addressed to fully implement OS globally, outlining the barriers that need to be overcome and describing the complexity of the changes that come with this new research approach. Additionally, the chapter discusses the impact of Artificial Intelligence on addressing these challenges, while also creating new ones.
