The first two editions are availabe at BELIEF's media corner. Paper copies (about 100) will be distributed to specific, selected audiences - mainly policy makers, research and industrial associations, scientific counsels, and funding agencies across Europe, India, Latin America, and South Africa. The policy target audience will be reached through consortium partners located in the aforementioned regions. The impact of the magazine is expected to raise awareness of e-Infrastructures on a world-wide scale, foster synergies among projects, and help consolidate integrated infrastructures across a broad spectrum of technologies via a single, readily available channel. Please find enclosed the call for contributions to the third edition!
