The principal goal of EU-IndiaGrid is to support interconnection between the most relevant European Grid infrastructure (EGEE) and the Indian Grids to build a common infrastructure available to support data processing for e-Science application areas where strong collaborations already exist between Europe and India. Such common Grid infrastructure is intended to provide a concrete answer to specific requirements of several existing EU-India collaborative projects, characterized by very demanding computing needs. Coupled with this, the project is expected to trigger the use and development of Grids in India across a number of application areas and foster the creation of new Euro-Indian collaborations for the development of e-Science. The project start date is the 1st October 2006. The partners of this project are prominent actors on the European and Indian e-Infrastructures scene: - Italian National Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN, project coordinator), - Metaware SpA, - Consortium GARR - the Italian Academic and Research Network (GARR), - Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP), - Cambridge University, - Indian Tata Institute for Fundamental Research (TIFR, with an Institute in Mumbai and the National Centre for Biological Sciences, NCBS, in Bangalore), - Indian Education and Research Network (ERNET), - University of Pune, - SAHA Institute Calcutta, the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) - Bhabha Atomic Research Centre.
