Material Science
Research into Material Science requires cross-disciplinary research services, computational tools and techniques. EU-IndiaGrid2 builds on the successes of EU-IndiaGrid (2007-2009) in establishing and reinforcing relevant EU-Indian collaborations supported by important EU and Indian Institutions. The enlargement of such significant user communities is the key to sustainability as it will serve to motivate scientists to exploit the e-Infrastructures making them central to their research work. EU-IndiaGrid2 will sustain a set of applications strategic for EU-Indian collaboration which can exploit the possibilities offered by network and grid infrastructures.
ICTP, University of Pune, CEA-Grenoble will work together in order to focus on the testing of applications in order to:
- test already developed parallel paradigms on the GRID
- carry out a detailed comparison between EU and Indian GRIDS
- extend material science applications to more complex areas of condensed matter simulation
EUIndiaGrid2 is playing an important role in enhancing and increasing Euro-India cooperation on e-Infrastructures through collaboration with key policy players both from the Government of India and the European Commission. 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.
