The concept of Network of Excellence within FP6 • The aim of NoEs is to create very significant, long lasting integration – the creation of ‘Virtual Research Institutes’ • To overcome the fragmentation of EU research by fostering long-term integration of research programmes and capabilities of the participants, creating a world-class scientific resource • Participants will require: • Commitment to integration of capabilities and resources • Capability to contribute to a joint research programme • Autonomy to re-align their research agenda with the NoE • Important keywords: INTEGRATION / SUSTAINABILITY European Research Network on Foundations, Software Infrastructures and Applications for large scale distributed, GRID and Peer-to-Peer Technologies
CoreGRID 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 Peer-to-Peer (P2P) 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

Network priorities • Excellence • CoreGRID brings together a European critical mass of well-known experts in GRID and P2P research • An ambitious joint program of activities to deal with well identified challenges • Long-term integration & structuring • Set-up a sustainable European research laboratory with an associated management • With several Institutes • With research groups assigned to Institutes European Research Network on Foundations, Software Infrastructures and Applications for large scale distributed, GRID and Peer-to-Peer Technologies
A NoE managed by ERCIM ERCIM is a consortium of leading research institutions from 18 countries (17 European) committed to information technology and applied mathematics.
