Core. GRID objectives • • • To build a European-wide research laboratory – To avoid fragmentation of Grid research activities in Europe – Create the European “Grid Lighthouse” and be seen as such worldwide – To achieve integration and sustainability To build solid foundations for GRID and P 2 P technologies – Both on a methodological basis and a technological basis – Support medium and long term research activities Achieve and promote scientific and technological excellence within & beyond the Grid research community Gather and disseminate European research A think-tank for spin-off projects – EC funded, bilateral projects, international cooperations, … European Research Network on Foundations, Software Infrastructures and Applications for large scale distributed, GRID and Peer-to-Peer Technologies 2
