European Grid Infrastructure 32 countries (National Grid Initiatives) Grid Federating IT services Infrastructure Computers, Data, Applications Clouds, clusters, grids,…. and beyond!! Sustainability Sustainable operation Project-driven innovation EGI-Engage, AARC, INDICO, etc. EGI.eu in Amsterdam E-Infrastructures are geographically distributed computing resources and data storage facilities linked by high-performance networks. They allow scientists to share information securely, analyse data efficiently and collaborate with colleagues worldwide. They are an essential part of modern scientific research and a driver for economic growth. The European Grid Infrastructure (EGI) was established in 2010 building on over a decade of investment by national governments and the European Commission. EGI is a European-wide federation of national computing and data storage resources. Its aim is to support cutting-edge research, innovation and knowledge transfer in Europe. EGI federates resources from various resource centres, mainly from research insitututes and universities. These centres provide computer clusters, storage servers, applications and human support services for secure access and sharing. EGI provides these services to European researchers and their international collaborators. EGI is coordinated by EGI.eu, a not-for-profit foundation based in Amsterdam and owned by EGI’s participants, the National Grid Infrastructures (NGIs).
