Abstract

The HiLumi LHC, the SKA Observatory and LOFAR 2.0 will take High Energy Physics (HEP) and Radio Astronomy (RA) towards exabyte-scale data within the next decade, beyond the capacity of today's infrastructure. The SPECTRUM project responded with two documents built on the same evidence. A Technical Blueprint describes a European compute and data continuum as a capability map, consolidates the gaps found in HEP, RA and related use cases, and recommends technical actions in eight areas. A Strategic Research, Innovation and Deployment Agenda (SRIDA) organises thirteen priorities in four pillars, maps them to investment areas and European funding instruments, and phases them over a roadmap set against the timelines of the three instruments. This paper, by editors and contributors of both documents, summarises them, their consultative method and the impact the SRIDA expects.
