EU-IndiaGrid Kick-off meeting - IIT New Delhi, 14 & 15 January, 2010
Consortium members of EU-IndiaGrid will gather together to discuss the coming two years work. The two-day event will see a number of key members of the EU e-Infrastructures delegation feedback on their workshop held in Delhi 11 & 12 January.
On day one presentations will report on a number of issues highlighting EU-India e-Infrastructure collaboration, and European and Indian networks. The second day will focus on the work of the EU-IndiaGrid consortium with presentations and meetings on the various aspects of the project.
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.
