Well, I agree that this should be a priority, but you don't know that it won't happen. This online discussion is set up by Europe to decide on the topic of a workshop that will take place on 6/7 November. Once the topics are decided, the main goal in the workshop itself will be to decide on funding priorities for the 2016/2017 instruments (i.e. this can be seen partly as a lobbying event). The process is long, sure, but it is also very incremental. At the moment it costs almost nothing to participate: open an account and post. If open source math software makes it, then all you would have to decide to keep engaged in the process is if attending that workshop (with like-minded people, presumably) would be of interest to you. From my understanding this is how semi-industrial projects get started: before calls are actually issued. Paul
I copy/paste below the original context for the consultation: DG CONNECT of the European Commission, more precisely the Unit e-infrastructures in Directorate Excellence in Science in DG CONNECT, has launched a “consultation†on mathematics. The aim is to give input for a workshop on mathematics and for its main focus areas. This Workshop will probably take place on 6 and/or 7 November. It will in turn feed into the WP2016-2017 especially in the area of Excellence in Science. This below is the link to the “consultation†or rather a discussion forum. The idea is indeed to find first focus for the workshop and the whole mathematical discussion. As such, mathematics is too wide a topic, and a workshop on “mathematics†would have the risk of becoming too generic and too overarching even if focusing on einfrastructures, and end up in everyone agreeing that mathematics is important and going no further. We would be very grateful to have wide input from mathematicians and like-minded people in the “consultation†, and as such in forming the actual contents of the workshop. Accordingly, I would like to invite all to participate in the consultation and to forward the link and information to colleagues working with, on or for mathematics and ICT. Thanking in advance – we will come back to the workshop.
