FUTURE (FP6):Research networks related work300 MiEuros

Establish a high capacity and high speed communications network for all researchers in Europe (GEANT+) and specific high performance Grids and test-beds (GRIDs).

Create large-scale distributed systems & Create large-scale distributed systems & platforms, including Grid-based systems platforms, including Grid-based systems to solve complex problems in areas like to solve complex problems in areas like the environment, energy, health, the environment, energy, health, transport, industrial designtransport, industrial design

Global networking:From “Regional”… to “Global”

Important step

ensure regional dimension

Co-operation:Instruments

Technical and coordination meetings between projects

Meetings between policy agencies

High Level Group on High-Speed Network Application Test-beds

….

Conclusions

Exploiting the “cooperative model” as a global model to advance global networking for our collective benefit is a challenge worth pursuing!!!
