BELIEF-II (Bringing Europe's eLectronic Infrastructures to Expanding Frontiers - Phase II) is an EU FP7 project with the aim of supporting the goals of e-Infrastructure projects to maximise synergies in specific application areas between research, scientific and industrial communities.

During its 24 months, BELIEF II will:

• Maintain a multimedia BELIEF Digital Library (DL) & Portal
• Plan, organise and deliver 3 eConcertation meetings,  2 Brainstorming events and 3 International Symposia
  
• Create a suite of Joint Communications Products such as: the DVD, the e-Infrastructure Guide, the e-Infrastructure News Magazine Zero-In and EC Publications

Through these promotional activities, BELIEF-II will disseminate the results of the e-Infrastructure projects in a clear, coherent and efficient way, showing the similarities between them and also to highlight the technical applications of the projects.

The additional functionalities that will be available in the BELIEF-II Digital Library, will include the integration with the event calendar to submit event agendas and event reports.

BELIEF II will strategically impact the FP7 priorities thanks to its:

• Support of emerging fields within e-Infrastructures by offering a forum for the exposure of new ideas and by facilitating the efforts of individuals pursuing these ideas
  
• Encouragement for the pooling of resources between infrastructure operators at European and International level
  
• Spread of good practices and encouragement to the use of e-Infrastructures to attain a more equitable development and distribution of knowledge.
  
• Dissemination and promotion of research and development activities on e-Infrastructures

e-Infrastructures have not only become necessary to deal with Increased complexity in tackling scientific challenges, but also as a strategic tool fo fostering collaborative innovation globally. e-Infrastructures  enable researchers in different locations across the world to collaborate in the context of their home institutions or in national or multinational scientific initiatives. They can work together by having shared access to unique or distributed scientific facilities (including data, instruments, computing and communications). Visit our website to learn more.
