ERCIM ERCIM is a consortium of leading research institutions from 18 European countries committed to information technology and applied mathematics. Advanced Grid Research Workshops through European and Asian Co-operation 5/19
Need for more interactions Grid results in FP5 Datagrig Unicore But still limited impact world wide EU is increasing its support (125 M ) under FP6 NextGrid, SIMDAT, Akogrimo, EGEE... Barriers US will unfortunately not adopt EU technologies Other countries may use US techno even if not fully mature yet So we need More efforts to promote, share and build on European technologies Advanced Grid Research Workshops through European and Asian Co-operation 6/19
What do we want? Goal Foster collaboration in Grid research and technologies between the European Union and at least two Asian countries: China and South Korea 3 steps Mapping of Chinese and South Korea key Grid players Grid focused workshops on Research and industrial agendas Dissemination and sustainability through participation in joint projects Results Initiate co-operation between European and Asian grid communities Validate capabilities and extend sustainable co-operation with leading Grid actors in Asia Advanced Grid Research Workshops through European and Asian Co-operation 7/19

IST Familiarization day Wednesday 22 February from 2.00 to 6.30 PM Organised by the european Commission Overview of International Co-operation activities in DG INFSO Overview of Grid Technologies and Digital Broadcasting activities in China Proposal submission and evaluation. Instruments. Overview of the Call 6 Grid Technologies targeted research action with China. Digital Broadcasting / Mobile Convergence targeted research action with China "Proposers Forum : Presentations of proposal ideas Opportunity for participants to discuss and meet other attendees Advanced Grid Research Workshops through European and Asian Co-operation 15/19
My understanding/comments Strong demand from China to collaborate in the IST domain with Europe Chinese budget for Grid activities has increased for the 5 years to come Chinese authorities encourage the emergence of start-ups from IT research institutes - Legend? Open source is an important issue High number of Chinese students in Europe Identify strategic priorities of interest for both sides Be ready for a long term investment - Must set up lasting relations Careful establishment of a local office in China, including local staff Chinese collaborators trained in Europe can efficiently support activities in China Identify the real decision maker - Strong hierarchy Advanced Grid Research Workshops through European and Asian Co-operation 16/19
