SEE-Grid aims to provide specific support actions to assist the participation of the SE European states to the pan-European and worldwide Grid initiatives by establishing a seamless and interoperable pilot-Grid infrastructure that will expand and support the European Research Area (ERA) in the region.
SEE-GRID has the following objectives:
- Create a human network in the area of Grids, eScience and eInfrastructures in SEE.
- Extend support to Pan-European Grid efforts (e.g. GRIDSTART, DAMIEN, DATAGRID, EUROGRID, CROSSGRID, DATATAG, EGEE, etc) in the SEE region.
- Co-operate with GEANT, SEEREN initiatives and exploit their infrastructures and results in the region.
- Integrate selected Grid sites into a regional pilot testbed and demonstrate selected applications within the Pan-European Framework.
- Promote awareness in the region regarding Grid developments.
- Ease the digital divide and bring South-Eastern European Grid communities closer to the rest of the continent.
- Establish a dialogue at the level of policy developments for research and education and provide inputs to the agende of national governments and funding bodies.
- Promote regional and international collaboration in the SEE area and with neighbouring countries.
