class="article-content clearfix"> <p>DIstributed colLaboratories Infrastructure on Grid ENabled Technology 4 Science</p> <strong>Keywords:</strong> <p>e-Infrastructure, grid, users, scientific communities</p> <strong>Abstract:</strong> <p>The main objective of this project is to deploy the e-Infrastructures built so far by the EGEE and DILIGENT projects so that they address the needs of several new scientific communities affiliated with the broad disciplines of Environmental Monitoring and Fishery Resource Management. These e-Infrastructures, which offer mechanisms that concurrently exploit networks, grids, and data in a seamless fashion, will enable scientific communities to operate within a coherent pan-European model, regardless of the location of their research facilities. The project will progressively consolidate and expand these open e-Infrastructures to better address the needs of the two major target disciplines (which have challenging differences but also interesting commonalities). Thousands of scientists will obtain increasingly more facilities for creating Virtual Research Environments based on shared computation, storage, and generic service resources offered by EGEE and DILIGENT at a European level, as well as on data and domain-specific service resources offered by large international organizations, such as ESA, FAO, and CGIAR. The envisioned D4Science e-Infrastructure will have a multiplicative benefit to many scientific fields and will also act as a catalyst for the kind of cooperation and cross-fertilization among multiple communities that is necessary for addressing many grand challenges of science and society.</p> <p><strong>Partners:</strong><br /> ERCIM<br />CNR<br />NKUA<br />CERN<br />ENG<br />BDM-USTRATH<br />UNIBASEL<br />ESA<br />FAO<br />WorldFish Center<br />4D SOFT <br /> </p> <p><strong>Duration:</strong><br />24 months, from 1 January 2008 to 31 December 2009</p> <p><strong>ERCIM's role:</strong><br /> Project co-ordinator</p> <p><strong>Funding Agencies:</strong><br /> European Commission (FP7 Capacities Programme, Research Infrastructures Theme)</p> <p><strong>EC funding:</strong> 3.150.000 Euros</p> <p><strong>Links:</strong><br />D4Sience home page: <a href="http://www.d4science.eu/">http://www.d4science.eu/</a> </p> </section>   </article>  </div> </div>  </div> </div>  <div id="back-to-top" data-spy="affix" data-offset-top="300" class="back-to-top hidden-xs hidden-sm affix-top"> <button class="btn btn-primary" title="Back to Top"><i class="fa fa-caret-up"></i></button> </div> <script type="text/javascript"> (function($) { // Back to top $('#back-to-top').on('click', function(){ $("html, body").animate({scrollTop: 0}, 500); return false; }); $(window).load(function(){ // hide button to top if the document height not greater than window height*2;using window load for more accurate calculate. if ((parseInt($(window).height())*2)>(parseInt($(document).height()))) { $('#back-to-top').hide(); } }); })(jQuery); </script>   <footer id="t3-footer" class="wrap t3-footer"> <section class="t3-copyright"> <div class="container"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-12 copyright "> <div id="mod-custom103" class="mod-custom custom"> <div style="margin-bottom: 15px; padding-bottom: 10px; border-bottom: 1px solid #CCC;"><span class="members_space"><img src="/images/flags/it.png" alt="Italy" border="0"> <a title="Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche" href="/cnr">CNR</a></span> <span class="members_space"><img src="/images/flags/nl.png" alt="The Netherlands" border="0"> <a title="Centrum voor Wiskunde en Informatica" href="/cwi">CWI</a></span> <span class="members_space"><img src="/images/flags/de.png" alt="Germany" border="0"> <a title="Fraunhofer Gesellschaft" href="/fhg">Fraunhofer</a></span> <span class="members_space"><img src="/images/flags/lu.png" alt="Luxembourg" border="0"> <a title="Fonds National de la Recherche" href="/fnr">FNR</a></span> <span class="members_space"><img src="/images/flags/gr.png" alt="Greece" border="0"> <a title="Foundation for Research and Technology - Hellas" href="/forth">FORTH</a></span> <span class="members_space"><img src="/images/flags/pt.png" alt="Portugal" border="0"> <a title="INESC" href="/inesc">INESC</a></span> <span class="members_space"><img src="/images/flags/fr.png" alt="France" border="0"> <a title="Institut national de recherche en informatique et en automatique" href="/inria">INRIA</a></span> <span class="members_space"><img src="/images/flags/gr.png" alt="Greece" border="0"> <a title="Industrial Systems Institute" href="/isi">ISI</a></span> <span class="members_space"><img src="/images/flags/es.png" alt="Spain" border="0"> <a title="Institute of Technology and Software Engineering \“Jose María Troya Linero\”, University of Malaga " href="/itis-uma">ITIS-UMA</a></span> <span class="members_space"><img src="/images/flags/no.png" alt="Norway" border="0"> <a title="Norwegian University of Science and Technology" href="/ntnu">NTNU</a></span> <span class="members_space"><img src="/images/flags/se.png" alt="Sweden" border="0"> <a title="RISE" href="/sics">RISE</a> <span class="members_space"><img src="/images/flags/at.png" alt="Austria" border="0"> <a title="SBA Research" href="/sba">SBA</a></span></span> <span class="members_space"><img src="/images/flags/hu.png" alt="Hungary" border="0"> <a title="The Computer and Automation Research Institute, Hungarian Academy of Sciences" href="/sztaki">SZTAKI</a></span> <span class="members_space"><img src="/images/flags/cy.png" alt="Cyprus" border="0"> <a title="University of Cyprus" href="/ucy">UCY</a></span> <span class="members_space"><img src="/images/flags/pl.png" alt="Poland" border="0"> <a title="University of Warsaw" href="/uwaw">UWAW</a></span></div> <div style="overflow: hidden;"> <div style="; float: left;"><span class="footer_text"> © ERCIM | <a href="/about/legal">legal information</a></span></div> <div style="float: right; margin-right: 10px; overflow: hidden;"> <p style="float: left; margin-right: 10px;">ERCIM is the European Partner of <a title="World Wide Web Consortium" href="http://www.w3.org/" target="blank_">W3C</a></p> </div> </div></div> </div> </div> </div> </section> </footer>  </div> <script src="/js/sortTable.js" defer></script> </body> </html>
