Abstract: It is our pleasure to present this special issue of the scientific journal Scalable Computing: Practice and Experience. In this issue (Volume 19, No 2 June 2018), we have selected 14 papers which have gone through peer review and represent novel results in the fields of Life Sciences, Digital Cultural Heritage and Climatology, using state-of-the-art e-infrastructures, regionally integrated under the framework of the VI-SEEM project, and the related Virtual Research Environment (VRE). e-Infrastructures offer state-of-the-art IT resources which are the foundation that supports the scientific excellence in contemporary research. The VI-SEEM VRE integrates resources across all layers of the e-Infrastructure (networking, computing, data, software, user interfaces) to foster scientific excellence in selected fields and encourage cross-disciplinarity as well. In the content of this special issue the papers are ordered thematically in 4 groups: Climatology (5 papers), Life Sciences (3 papers), Digital Cultural Heritage (2 papers) and Tools and Services (4 papers).
