Eu-India Grid 2 User Communities
The EU-IndiaGrid e-Infrastructure has successfully supported a set of applications which, with effective deployment and increasing usage of the Grid service, achieved excellent results in the domains of High-Energy Physics, Biology, Material Science, Earth and Atmospheric Science. According to the present vision, e-Infrastructures provide a core of services, including network, computing and storage for the benefit of a wide set of applications optimizing resource utilisation.
EU-IndiaGrid2 builds upon previous achievements and involvement in the major Indian grid initiatives, providing support in application areas such as Climate change, High Energy Physics, Biology, Material Science and seismology.

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.
