  3. EUMEDGRID is a Specific Support Action (SSA) funded under the EU VI Framework Programme. • Started the 1st of January 2006. • 24 months duration. • Technical coordination: INFN (Italian National Institute for Nuclear Physics) • 14 partners from EU and Non-Member States. • 11 beneficiary countries in the Mediterranean • A total effort of 481 Person Months (392 Funded). Introduction C5 Meeting – CERN – March 16th 2007

  4. It aims to provide in the Mediterranean Region a pilot grid infrastructure for Research, which will be interoperable and compatible with EGEE and with analogous initiatives in the Balkans, North Europe, Latin America and Far-East Asia. • Establish a human network in the Mediterranean about e-Science • Enhance international collaboration of scientists and promote collaboration in other fields Purposes C5 Meeting – CERN – March 16th 2007

  12. EUMEDGRID Applications C5 Meeting – CERN – March 16th 2007

  13. Application questionnaire yielded 13 applications from 6 countries (4 applications from Beneficiary Countries) • Deployed applications: • Earth-Science (CODESA3D) • Archeology/Paleoclimatology (ArcheoGrid) • EGEE/WLCG (CMS, Atlas HEP applications) • Participation in WISDOM Malaria Data Challenge (October-December 2006) Applications:First Year Achievements C5 Meeting – CERN – March 16th 2007

  14. WISDOM Data Challenge EUMEDGRID Contribution Data Challenge on neglected diseases ran from October 1st to December 15th on several grid infrastructures including EUMEDGRID C5 Meeting – CERN – March 16th 2007

  15. CODESA stands for COupled DEnsity-dependent variably SAturated flow and miscible transport • CODESA-3D is a three-dimensional finite-element simulator allowing the study of water movements in porous media taking into account phenomena as infiltrations/evaporations, recharge/discharge, withdrawal, … • It has been developed by Giuditta Lecca at CSR4, Italy (www.crs4.it/ENV) within the Hydrology and Water Resource Management Area CODESA-3D: Introduction C5 Meeting – CERN – March 16th 2007

  16. Within EUMEDGRID, CODESA has been applied to saltwater intrusion problem of coastal aquifers. • Korba aquifer (Tunisia) case-study Seawater intrusion simulation C5 Meeting – CERN – March 16th 2007

  17. Output (2D) Water pressure head with reference to mean sea level at a given horizontal plane (defined by the user z=zfixed). Relative salt concentration dissolved in groundwater at a given horizontal plane. C5 Meeting – CERN – March 16th 2007

  18. Output 3D Relative salt concentration dissolved in groundwater (salt is red; freshwater is blue) C5 Meeting – CERN – March 16th 2007

  19. One of the aspect of ArchaeoGrid is the investigation of the paleoclimate situation in the Mediterranean Area • This kind of studies are made available within EUMEDGRID using a metereological modelling software called MM5 • MM5 allows to create complex atmospheric simulations and it is possibile simulating weather evolution even in the past, putting information describing the ancient enviroment ArchaeoGrid: Introduction C5 Meeting – CERN – March 16th 2007

  20. Output The program, thanks to the definition of the horizontal and vertical terrain contours and properties of the ground as elevations, absorption and reflecting capabilities, elaborates the meteorological data. Finally, MM5 generate a forecast of the dynamic and thermodynamic state of the atmosphere C5 Meeting – CERN – March 16th 2007

  21. EUMEDGRID is a step towards the creation of a Mediterranean Grid Infrastructure for e-Science creating a “human network” across the countries. • A pilot infrastructure with 12 sites is already running in the Mediterranean • EUMEDGRID is having a big impact in the development of e-Infrastructures. In particular it is: • contributing to reduce the digital divide between the two sides of the Mediterranean; • building a community; • raising the awareness of new ways of doing (e-)Science; • Paving the way for a long term sustainability of e-Infrastructures in the Region through the constitution of National Grid Initiatives.

  30. Issues and Challenges: • Egypt prefinancing still pending. • Many partners are new to EC projects/rules, need for specific admin tutorials. • Tunisia is not connected via the EUMEDCONNECT • Plan for 2007: • Enlarge collaboration – firstly with Alexandria Library • Increase number of NGIs • Increase site availability & usability • Expand the long term authentication infrastructure (CAs) in the Region. • Rank, deploy and support new applications • Transfer core services and ROC operations to Malta & Cyprus. • Dissemination: arabic version of the website Issues, Challenges and Plan C5 Meeting – CERN – March 16th 2007

  31. Relevance of policy work • Highly appreciated the NGIs creation • Technical objectives are going to be met at the end of the project by continuing with this kind of commitment. • Application selection criteria should be aligned and clarified. • Chosen applications should have the potential to raise the interest of the politicians. • Applications may be of interest to the industry. Other sections (eg engineering, biomed, etc) need to be added Preliminary Feedback C5 Meeting – CERN – March 16th 2007

  32. Morocco: recognized by ministry • Algeria: recognized by ministry under CNRST umbrella • Tunisia: recognized by ministry • Egypt: NGI planning stage • Syria: preliminary contact at ministry level • Jordan: planning stage, contact with government and funding agencies • Cyprus: planning stage, problem to reach the critical mass, tentative launch date 2007 NGI status C5 Meeting – CERN – March 16th 2007

  33.
