This morning session is an open forum to facilitate community input into the design of future scientific e-infrastructures. It is open to all scientific communities and data intensive disciplines. The aim of the forum is to discuss existing practices across different research areas in order to help make informed choices about the design of new facilities based on broad community experience. The proposed forum builds on initial discussions at the WLCG pre-GBD Meeting in CERN and the cross-community forum held at the annual WLCG meeting in Manchester.
