RINGrid

One of the key concepts of the RINGrid project is to share scientific and industrial resources. This is necessary since expertise for expensive technical instruments is often unavailable locally. RINGrid therefore tries to bridge the gap between countries within the European Union and other countries owning the equipment. As a result, new communities are formed and opportunities are created.

Interactive European Grid

The Interactive European Grid (int.eu.grid) project has been funded by the European Union under contract number INFSO-RI-031857. It was started on 1 May, 2006 and lasted for 24 months. The objective of the project has been the deployment of an advanced Grid empowered infrastructure in the European Research Area specifically oriented to support the execution of interactive demanding applications. The consortium involved 13 leading institutions in 7 countries, with significant computing capacity and expertise in grid technology.

GridCoord

The GridCoord SSA (www.gridcoord.org) is an ERA pilot on a co-ordinated Europe-wide initiative in Grid research, which pursues this goal in the interest of all European nations through a series of tasks, including

• Co-ordination among the funding authorities for maximising the effective usage of the considerable resources,
• Collaboration amongst the individual researchers and creation of European excellence and competence centres, and
• Establishment of a visionary research agenda for future grid technology.
