Enabling Grids for E-sciencE EGEE-II INFSO-RI-031688 5 EUChinaGRID at a Glance Set-up and manage a Pilot Infrastructure Train users and site administrators to use and operate an e-Infrastructure Disseminate, both “bottom-up” and “top- down”, the e-Infrastruc- ture paradigm for long term sustainability of e-Science Attract new communities in learning, testing and using pilot infrastructure

6. Enabling Grids for E-sciencE EGEE-II INFSO-RI-031688 6 EUChinaGRID Main Objectives Support the Interconnection and Interoperability of Grids between Europe and China. Main focus is on two specific Grid infrastructures: –CNGRID in China (with the middleware of GOS) –EGEE in Europe (with the middleware of gLite) Dissemination of advanced knowledge in Grid technology is also an important part of the activity. Strengthening the collaboration between scientific groups in both regions, supporting existing and new Grid applications.
