EU India GRID

Sustainable e-infrastructures
across Europe and India

The vision of a worldwide Grid for Research is embraced by both Europe and India and responds to the need for scientific collaborations in a networked world to address grand global challenges. This forms the basis of the Knowledge Society of the future supporting a wide-range of communities leveraging ICT infrastructures for complex problem solving to advance research across borders.
EUIndiaGrid2 capitalises on the achievements of EUIndiaGrid by acting as a bridge across European and Indian e-infrastructures to foster evolution in these regions and to ensure sustainable scientific, educational and technological collaboration.

EU-India Grid Objectives:

  • Support specific user communities in the exploitation of grid infrastructure in areas strategic for EU-Indian collaboration.
  • Ensure a sustainable approach to e-Infrastructures across Europe and India through dissemination actions, meetings & workshops.
  • Foster and enhance cooperation with other European Initiatives in the Asian region and worldwide.

EU-IndiaGrid Target Results include:

  • Interaction with 4 user communities - Climate change, High Energy Physics, Biology & Material Science.
  • Cooperation with EU funded regional projects like EELA2, EuAsiaGrid, SEEGRIDSCI and EUMEDSupport-GRID.
  • Organisation of 4 thematic workshops & 1 international climate change event.

Dr. Chidambaram“I am happy to learn about the second phase EU-IndiaGrid2 project – Sustainable e-Infrastructures across Europe and India. The first phase has been immensely beneficial for a variety of scientific disciplines including Biology, Earth Science and the Indian collaboration for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The successful working of the initial phase of the multi-gigabit National Knowledge Network (NKN), Indian Certification Authority, and participation in Trans-Eurasia Information Network (TEIN3) phase 3 are some of the important building blocks for supporting virtual research communities in India and their collaboration work with other countries.” - Dr R. Chidambaram, Principal scientific advisor to the Government of India Chandigarth
