Media Partners
Centre for Science, Development and Media Studies (CSDMS) is a non-governmental organisation committed to research, advocacy and development of knowledge solutions for under-privileged communities, through innovative and effective use of Information and Communication Technologies. CSDMS aims to achieve its mandate of using Information and Communication Technology for development not only through the new advanced communication technology media, but also through traditional medium like print. The organisation aims to reach out to more and more people from all walks of life and to transform them into more aware citizens with the power of information.
CSDMS publish a number of magazines including i4d, Digital Learning, eGov and eHealth. In addition, they organise the annual eIndia event, the largest Indian ICT event. The eIndia 2010 event was held in Hyderabad, 4-6 August. For more information on the event visit the website - http://www.eindia.net.in/2010/
e-ScienceTalk brings the success stories of Europe's e-infrastructure to a wider audience. The project coordinates the dissemination outputs of EGI and other European e-Infrastructure projects, ensuring their results and influence are reported in print and online.
iSGTW and GridCast, eScienceTalk's projects, are EU-IndiaGrid2 media partners promoting and following a number of EUIG2 events.

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.
