e-INFRA CZ Projects
Large research infrastructure
Large research infrastructures are research facilities necessary for comprehensive R&D activities with high financial and technological requirements, connected to similar foreign infrastructures and/or designed for use by other research organisations. Large research infrastructures must be approved by the government and are part of the Roadmap of Large Research Infrastructures of the Czech Republic (https://www.vyzkumne-infrastruktury.cz/cestovni-mapa-velkych-vyzkumnych-infrastruktur-cr/). We are involved in the development of national and international large-scale infrastructures within the following projects:
Current projectsThe most important R&D topic, which also strongly affects large research infrastructures, is currently Open Science represented by the concept of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) at the European level. This concept is designed to provide long-term preservation of scientific data and to make it available for further use in a controlled and standardised way. This concept is being implemented by us within the following projects:
Current projectsResearch and development projects
Safety
We take extraordinary care to ensure security in cyberspace, focusing on the users' privacy protection, their data security and the protection of infrastructures. We are also engaged in developing tools for backbone network monitoring and detecting traffic anomalies as a potential source of attack. Another of our activities related to this is development of tools for detecting security events and incidents. We continue to develop our own DDoS protector. The results of such activities and projects are directly deployed not only in the CESNET e-infrastructure, but also in the infrastructures of other entities or are subject to adjustment in the form of licenses.
Current projectsAdvanced network technologies
Our endeavours are also focused on ICT applications in new sectors, such as Medicine, Economy, and Art & Humanities. Furthermore, we are active in high-definition and low-latency multimedia transmissions, digitisation and presentation of cultural heritage, as well as issues related to the Internet of Things (IoT).
