THE 6th GLOBAL RESEARCH PLATFORM WORKSHOP
September 15-16, 2025
Chicago, Illinois, USA
The Global Research Platform (GRP) is an international scientific collaboration to create innovative advanced ubiquitous services that integrate resources around the globe at speeds of gigabits and terabits per second, especially for large-scale data-intensive science research. GRP focuses on the design, implementation, and operation strategies for next-generation distributed communication services and infrastructure to facilitate high-performance data gathering, analytics, transport, computing, and storage among multiple science sites at 100 Gbps or higher. GRP community partners are in North America, South America, Europe, the Middle East and Australia, and work together to customize international fabrics and distributed cyberinfrastructure to support optimal data-intensive scientific workflows.
The 6th GRP Workshop (6GRP) focuses on recent and emerging advances in architectures, services, technologies, and infrastructures driven by the requirements of large-scale, data-intensive, scientific research. Speakers present their innovations and explain how their work supports global science research. The 6GRP Workshop program consists of five themes:
- Large-Scale Global Science
- Next-Generation Research Platforms
- International Testbeds for Data-Intensive Science and the Transition to Tbps-800G-400G WANs
- Global Networking for Science Initiatives
- Enhancements of Major R&E Networks and Open Exchange Points
RELATED MEETING
6GRP is co-located with the IEEE International Conference on eScience 2025. GRP Workshops and eScience Conferences co-locate because of their 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. 6GRP and eScience 2025 audiences share common interests, content, and culture. Co-location provides attendees with the option to register for both events.
