The Nordic e-Infrastructure Collaboration (NeIC) offers a framework where national actors can join forces to co-create new services, define common operational frameworks and pool the e-infrastructure competencies. NeIC supports excellent research through partnerships of national actors. However, the impacts of our collaboration reach much farther. My presentation is biased towards social...

Within the complex, international landscape of open science and open data, the research data landscape is highly fragmented, by disciplines or by domains. When it comes to cross-disciplinary activities, the notions of "building blocks" of common data infrastructures and building specific "data bridges" are... -

Jupyter notebooks combine the accessibility of an interactive web-frontend, the reproducibility of a laboratory notebook, and the collaborative potential of a cloud-based deployment. The accessibility and interactivity lowers the barrier for researchers to prototype, write, and share data analysis pipelines, and the literate programming approach of Jupyter makes it particularly simple to...

Many scientific fields are using, or would like to use, personal or sensitive data in the research. Such fields include for example genomics, health, social sciences and language research. The sensitive data that has been cleared for secondary use, should be properly managed and made findable under the same principles than non-sensitive research data. This naturally needs to be done under...

In modern times, computation power is becoming more and more important. However, at the same time, the rest of the world is becoming consumerized: while the general expectation is that information technology is easier to use, the design of high-performance computing (HPC) systems has not kept up with modern developments in computer usability. There are many historical artifacts of how HPC...

The introduction of the FAIR data management principles in 2016 was a milestone in the field of science. While the terms Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Re-Usable are well known – the practical implementation remains a challenge and needs the engagement of everyone involved: data managers, long-term repositories and scientists. There are several questions: How to achieve FAIRness for...

Artificial Intelligence can solve new problems, but AI also brings along new ethical and legal issues, such as: Can I trust the AI model? Can I explain it to others? Is it biased, unfair or even illegal? What is algorithmic transparency or algorithmic fairness? Is privacy good or bad for AI research or vice versa? I will pinpoint some key AI research challenges, of which some are solvable and...
