4. Marco Paganoni - Univ. Milano-Bicocca e INFN  kick-off meeting  Taipei, April 8th, 2008 Abstract  The EUAsiaGrid proposal contributes to the aims of the Research Infrastructures work programme by “promoting international interoperation between similar infrastructures with the aim of reinforcing the global relevance and impact of European e-Infrastructures”.  The project’s main goal will be to pave the way towards an Asian e-Science Grid Infrastructure, in synergy with the other European Grid initiatives in Asia, namely EGEE-III via its Asia Federation, and both the EUChinaGRID and EU- IndiaGRID projects and their eventual follow on efforts.  Taking advantage of the existing global Grid technologies, with the specific emphasis on the European experience with the gLite middleware and applications running on top of it, the project plans to encourage federating approaches across scientific disciplines and communities.  EUAsiaGrid will act as a support action, aiming to define and implement a policy to promote the gLite middleware developed within the EU EGEE project across Asian countries.  Its main actions will be to spread dissemination, provide training, support scientific applications and monitor the results.

5. Marco Paganoni - Univ. Milano-Bicocca e INFN  kick-off meeting  Taipei, April 8th, 2008 Objectives Promote awareness in the Asian countries of the EGEE infrastructures, middleware and services by means of specific dissemination activities, such as workshops, training events, conferences, and hands-on demonstrations; Capture local e-Science user requirements in terms of resources needed, Grid services, application software, and training needs, building on results of the EGI_DS project; Build a EuroAsian Grid community by identifying and aggregating new and existing user communities into a virtual Grid-based research space; Assist regional integration with the wider Grid infrastructure in collaboration with the EGEE III Asian Federation and the EUChinaGrid and EU-IndiaGrid projects, thus significantly contributing to the creation of a human network in the area of Grids, e- Science and e-Infrastructures between Europe and Asia; Promote common e-Science applications in Asia and Europe, by supporting the early user communities already engaged in Grid applications (Life Science, Particle Physics), and engaging new ones by coordinating common actions of dissemination and training; Provide specific training materials and events targeted to the needs of users in the Asian countries as established in part in Objective 2, and in part building on the experience gained from the EUChinaGrid and EU-IndiaGrid projects. Foster international cooperation by working in synergy with members of the EGEE II Asian Federation, and the EU-IndiaGrid and EUChinaGRID projects.
