SEE-GRID-SCI (SEE-GRID eInfrastructure for Regional eScience)
http://www.see-grid.eu
SEE-GRID-SCI (South Eastern European GRid-enabled eInfrastructure Development phase 3) will involve a number of strategic multi-disciplinary regional scientific communities / virtual organisations (seismology, meteorology, etc) and thus further stimulate the use and expansion of the existing regional eInfrastructure and its services, and capitalize on the existing human network to further strengthen scientific collaboration and cooperation among participating SEE communities in the area of eInfrastructures. The inclusion of the new scientific communities and the expansion of the infrastructure in terms of both size and geographical spread, together with a set of coordinated actions aimed at strengthening the National Grid Infrastructures in the region, will ensure that at the end of the project each country in the region will be ready to join the long-term, sustainable European Initiatives as a full-fledged peer.
A number of applications from diverse end-user communities are already running on the regional eInfrastructure. These applications are typically focused on one user community within a single country. The core objective of the SEE-GRID-SCI project is to engage user communities from different countries in close collaboration so as to explore application similarities and abstract out common elements with respect to the approaches to the actual Grid usage. This strategy is envisaged to have a structuring effect for crucial regional communities. The typical target applications are from the fields most relevant for the region: taking into account the local geography - meteorology and seismology are core earth science disciplines in the region. Furthermore, a number of other disciplines will be supported, either per-country or on the regional level. Overall, the objective is to engage a number of strong cross-border communities in the research fields crucial for the region, accompanied by a number of local applications relevant on the national level.
