Upcoming Events

Building on the success and achievements of the "EU & Asia-Pacific Grid Collaborations and Future Challenges" at OGF24, this dedicated workshop on “International Co-operation for large scale DCI Interoperability” organised by OGF-Europe, aims to gather the series of global, European and Regional initiatives ongoing.Interoperability and interoperation between major European and Asian Grid infrastructures such as EGEE, CNGrid, GARUDA, NAREGI, is a crucial step towards establishing a cross-continent and even global Grid infrastructure.

A series of initiatives such as the ones previously mentioned have helped or will help to pave the way for a global “seamless” integration of different Grid infrastructures. In order to achieve this primary goal, strong efforts are needed bilaterally to evolve towards a common standard.

The stimulating workshop agenda will promote the following objectives:

•International co-ordination & collaboration

•Emphasise the international dimension of research expanding from regional into global co-operation with a focus on interoperability of eInfrastructures

•Discussing bilateral relations & potential future joint collaboration activities

•Further develop a global perspective for e-Infrastructure
