Shaping the Future of Digital Infrastructures for Data-Intensive Science in High-Energy Physics and Radio Astronomy

In the coming decade, frontier research will generate massive data volumes, driving a need for advanced data processing, simulation, and analysis. High-Energy Physics and Radio Astronomy communities, launching new instruments, will require infrastructures far beyond today’s capabilities, entering the Exascale era. Meeting these needs demands innovative, data-intensive architectures and federated resource models, integrating HPC, HTC, cloud, and quantum computing. The SPECTRUM project (www.spectrumproject.eu) is developing a Strategic Research, Innovation, and Deployment Agenda (SRIDA) and a Technical Blueprint for a European compute and data continuum. This session will highlight SPECTRUM’s approach, achievements, and roadmap toward enabling federated Exabyte-scale scientific collaborations.
