\paragraph{Abstract}

The document presents a counterpoint analysis of \ac{it} governance

and \ei{} governance, tailored specifically to the \ei{} audience.

\ei{} governance issues gain in prominence as, on the one hand, \ei{}s

grow in importance and cost, and on the other hand many governments

are re-evaluating their investment in science and technology

infrastructures under a menacing economic climate. Governance issues,

including questions of how to make infrastructure more responsive to

user needs, how to make it more cost effective, and how to align with

broader corporate goals, have long been discussed in the \ac{it}

governance literature. It is hoped that by highlighting the important

parts of this literature for the \ei{}s communities, pertinent results

of the existing research will be helpful in policy discussions on the

evolution of \ei{}s in Europe and beyond.
