Abstract:

The SPECTRUM Strategic Research, Innovation and Deployment Agenda (SRIDA) presents a coordinated
European strategy for the compute and data continuum serving data-intensive science. Grounded in the
requirements of High Energy Physics (including the HL-LHC programme and the WLCG) and Radio
Astronomy (including the SKA Observatory and LOFAR), the agenda addresses challenges shared across
data-intensive disciplines: exabyte-scale data, heterogeneous computing, federated access, AI adoption,
environmental sustainability, and workforce development. Thirteen strategic priorities are organised
within four pillars: Policy, Trust and Governance; Architecture and Interoperability; Software and Science
Enablers; and Human Capital and Responsibility. The SRIDA identifies investment areas spanning
computing and data infrastructures, software, governance, and human capital, and defines a phased
implementation roadmap from near-term governance foundations through medium-term technical
integration to long-term operational maturity. The agenda builds on evidence from the following project
deliverables: Technical Blueprint (D6.1), use case analysis (D5.1), landscape survey (D5.3), access policy
analysis (D5.2), and community of practice (D3.1). The agenda is informed by structured community
consultation and is intended to guide coordinated European action across scientific communities,
service providers, and policy makers.
