The SLICES initiative is a response to the demand for research infrastructure in the field of information and telecommunications technologies. Both the rapid development of Big Data technology and artificial intelligence, as well as the first implementations of the 5G network in the Member States, and, consequently, the following new applications using advanced control and data transmission mechanisms result in great demand for a digital infrastructure with adapted and properly selected tools to test and develop products intended for the digital society.
The main goal of the SLICES Design Study (SLICES-DS) project is to conduct research on the detailed conceptual and technical design of the new SLICES research infrastructure and to specify the scope of work in the individual cycles of the ESFRI research infrastructure life phase.
