““Expand European DCIs into ICPC countries by supporting the creation of new Desktop Expand European DCIs into ICPC countries by supporting the creation of new Desktop Grids for e-Science in those countries and in Europe and by connecting them using the Grids for e-Science in those countries and in Europe and by connecting them using the EDGeS bridge technology. Support applications on this expanded infrastructure, EDGeS bridge technology. Support applications on this expanded infrastructure, disseminate, promote and provide training about this expanded infrastructure and its disseminate, promote and provide training about this expanded infrastructure and its usage”.usage”.

European e-Infrastructure EDGeS connects 100.000 Desktop Grid European e-Infrastructure EDGeS connects 100.000 Desktop Grid computers with 150.000 core EGEE and other service Grids, including computers with 150.000 core EGEE and other service Grids, including EELA2, SEE-GridEELA2, SEE-Grid
