Technology Transfer through EU-funded projects

ICT projects funded the European Union  constitute a major channel for CERN to effectively transfer know-how and expertise, in particular in the field of very large scale computing. In IT, this was recently exemplified by projects under the FP5 programme, and now under the FP6 Programme.

EGEE,  Enabling Grids for E-science in Europe (FP6)

EGEE aims to integrate current national, regional and thematic Grid efforts, in order to create a seamless European Grid infrastructure for the support of the European Research Area. This infrastructure will be built on the EU Research Network GEANT and exploit Grid expertise that has been generated by projects such as the EU DataGrid project, other EU supported Grid projects and the national Grid initiatives such as UK e-Science, INFN Grid, Nordugrid and the US Trillium (cluster of projects).

EDG, the European DataGrid (FP5)

The objective EDG, the European DataGrid project funded by European Union, was to build the next generation computing infrastructure providing intensive computation and analysis of shared large-scale databases, from hundreds of TeraBytes to PetaBytes, across widely distributed scientific communities. The three year project, initially planned to finish at the end of 2003, was extended to the 31st of March 2004.

DataTag (FP5)

The DataTAG project objective is to create a large-scale intercontinental Grid testbed that focuses upon advanced networking issues and interoperability between these intercontinental Grid domains. The results are disseminated into each of the associated Grid projects. The project ends in 2004. It involves 5 academic partners in Europe, 6 in North America as well as a number of collaborating networks and institutes on both sides of the Atlantic.
