The 7th Global Research Platform Workshop (7GRP) takes place September 28-29, 2026 ,and is co-located with the 22nd IEEE International Conference on eScience 2026 in Naples, Italy.
GRP Workshop and eScience Conference attendees share common interests, content, and culture. Both events have similar but complementary goals. Whereas both focus on data- and compute-intensive research across domain sciences, GRP promotes communication strategies for next-generation distributed services and infrastructure, and eScience promotes all aspects of eScience and its associated technologies, applications, algorithms and tools, with a strong focus on practical solutions and challenges. Co-location provides attendees with the option to register for both events.
The Global Research Platform (GRP) is an international scientific collaboration that aims to create one-of-a-kind advanced ubiquitous services that integrate resources around the globe at speeds of gigabits and terabits per second. GRP focuses on design, implementation, and operation strategies for next-generation distributed services and infrastructure to facilitate high-performance data gathering, analytics, transport, computing, and storage, at 100 Gbps or higher. GRP actively works with partners in North America, Asia, Europe, and South America to customize international fabrics and distributed cyberinfrastructure to support data-intensive scientific workflows.
