Gisela aims at ensuring the long-term sustainability of the Latin America component of its e-Infrastructure. The objectives are; to establish a powerful e-Infrastructure facility built on the EELA-2 Infrastructure legacy and work out and implement a sustainability model for the e-Infrastructure.
The CHAIN project aims to coordinate and leverage the efforts made over the past 6 years to extend the European e-Infrastructure (and particularly Grid) operational and organisational principles to a number of regions in the world. CHAIN uses their results with a vision of a harmonised and optimised interaction model for e-Infrastructure and specifically Grid interfaces between Europe and the rest of the world.
The main objective of the EUMEDGRID-Support project is to promote the deployment and usage of e-Infrastructures in the Mediterranean Area, supporting new and existing applications, awakening the interest of stakeholders and policy makers, preserving and expanding the existing e-Science human network, enlarging and training this community, and maintaining continuity to e-Infrastructures, which are operating in synergy with existing and future European e-Infrastructures.
The European Middleware Initiative (EMI) project is a close collaboration of the four major middleware providers, ARC, dCache, gLite and UNICORE. It plans to deliver a consolidated set of middleware components for deployment in EGI, PRACE and other DCIs, extend the interoperability and integration between grids and other computing infrastructures, strengthen the reliability and manageability of the services and establish a sustainable model to support, harmonise and evolve the middleware, ensuring it responds effectively to the requirements of the scientific communities relying on it.
Bio-NMR aims to complete the structuring of the Biological NMR infrastructures, their user community and biological NMR researchers in Europe into a coherent research community prepared to tackle scientific and biomedical challenges of increasing complexity at the forefront of research worldwide. The structuring effect will be achieved by the provision of transnational access, the solicitation and expansion of the pre-existing strong user group, the development of new research tools towards increasing the quality and quantity of access and, importantly, the stimulation of a broad range of networking activities linking stakeholders to clearly define the needs of the European Research Area (ERA) and to develop the long-term sustainability of NMR RIs.
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.
The e-BioGrid project aims to set up and provide a functional computing infrastructure for life-science research. Life sciences today deals with data-intensive and high-throughput omics experimentation. e-BioGrid supports life science research through the development and exploitation of high-performance computing hardware as well as infrastructure software for data management, processing, analysis and visualization. The development of an advanced computing e-infrastructure will enable more effective research in technology areas such as next-generation sequencing, microarray technology, mass spectrometry, nanoscopy, biobanking and structural modelling. The e-BioGrid project is financially supported by the BiG Grid project (NWO), which is led by the partners NCF, Nikhef and NBIC.Life science researchers are invited to share their infrastructure demands and obstacles.
ScalaLife has built a cross-disciplinary Competence Centre for users and developers of Life Science software. Users of major software packages for molecular simulations, neuroinformatics and medical imaging are offered support with efficient execution on HPC systems. Software developers can find valuable support with analysis and performance profiling of their codes. Visit the center at www.scalalife.eu!
The WeNMR Virtual Research Community has been the first to be officially recognized by the EGI.
WeNMR is an e-Infrastructure project funded under the 7th framework of the EU. Contract no. 261572
