Budapest - EGEE 2007 - 03.10.2007 FP6−2004−Infrastructures−6-SSA-026409 E-infrastructure shared between Europe and Latin America 14 EELA-2 under FP7 WHY AN EELA-2 PROJECT IN 2008? –EELA in paving the way towards e-Science initiatives –EELA e-Infrastructure is mature but needs consolidation (cf. EGEE-II) –Most applications are in a production quality stage but actual production has to be supported –About 80 institutions are eager to use, or collaborate with, an LA e-Infrastructure –Actual creation of NGIs should be an EELA-2 outcome
