SPECTRUM Strategic Research Innovation and Deployment Agenda
SPECTRUM's strategy for a European compute and data continuum: thirteen priorities in four pillars, with actions for scientific communities, infrastructure providers and policy makers, and a roadmap in three phases.
SRIDA
Strategy and plan for the implementation of exascale research data federation and compute continuum for data-intensive science
Technical Blueprint for Compute and Data Continuum
The architecture of a European compute and data continuum: the capabilities it needs, the gaps between today's infrastructures and the recommendations to close them.
Technical Blueprint
Technical blueprint for a European Compute and Data Continuum
SPECTRUM Experts Meeting: Summary of Discussions
The SPECTRUM Experts Meeting (Barcelona, 18-19 February 2026) reviewed the key findings from the public consultation on the Technical Blueprint and the Strategic Research, Innovation and Deployment Agenda (SRIDA) for a European compute and data continuum. Twenty-six respondents from nine countries identified skills and workforce retention, heterogeneous computing integration, and software portability as the highest priorities.

Shaping the Future of Digital Infrastructures for Data-Intensive Science in High-Energy Physics and Radio Astronomy
In the coming decade, frontier research will generate massive data volumes, driving a need for advanced data processing, simulation, and analysis. High-Energy Physics and Radio Astronomy communities, launching new instruments, will require infrastructures far beyond today’s capabilities, entering the Exascale era. Meeting these needs demands innovative, data-intensive architectures and federated resource models, integrating HPC, HTC, cloud, and quantum computing.
Dissemination, Communications and Exploitation Plan
How SPECTRUM planned to communicate its results, engage its audiences and exploit what it produced, from its brand and channels to the dissemination and exploitation plan.
Data Management Plan
How the project collected, processed, monitored and catalogued its research data, following the FAIR principles, in a living document meant to evolve with the project.
