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, …

Conclusion
EU is strongly investing in Grid Research
CoreGRID started in September 1st, 2004– A very active project although it is in its early stage– Involvement of the main European Key players in Grid
computing (both institutions and researchers)– The only one Network of Excellence in Grid funded by the EU
– International collaborations• Still to be implemented• High priorities for collaboration with Asia and North America• Should be linked with one of six areas of the joint executed
research programme• Additional funding is required both from the EU and foreign
countries
