Climate Change
Climate change is a worldwide concern and climate change studies are among the priorities in European and Indian research programs. Providing reliable climate change information at the regional to local scale is one of the most challenging issues within the global change debate, both from the points of view of application and research.
In particular climate change is one of the flagship activities within the NKN program. EU-IndiaGrid aims at supporting climate change modelling studies on European and Indian e-Infrastructures thanks to the involvement of premier research groups with leading international reputation and solid collaboration basis enhanced and strengthened in the course of the EU-IndiaGrid.

EUIndiaGrid2 also works closely with policy initiatives such as e-IRGSP2 and Euro-India SPIRIT
Global networks are the glue that holds together Scientific Research Communities around the world. Networks such as GÉANT (The Pan-European Education and Research Network), TEIN3 (The Trans-Eurasia Information Network) and the NKN (National Knowledge Network of India) are all key to this process.
Two main grids exist in India – the Regional component of the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid (WLCG ) and GARUDA, the India National Grid Initiative. Both initiatives strongly rely on the development of national and international connectivity. In this respect fundamental steps have been taken and impressive targets have been achieved.
