Session 7a, 10 May 2007 IST-Africa 2007 Copyright 2007 EELA Project: IST EELA in one slide Researchers willing to perform their activities regardless of their geographical location, interact with colleagues, share and access data. The Pilot Test-bed: Resource Centres in EU and LA are "glued" by the EGEE middleware. Applications and scientific data (HEP, Biomed, e-Learning, Climate, etc.)
Session 7a, 10 May 2007 IST-Africa 2007 Copyright 2007 EELA Project: IST Approach Build a bridge between consolidated e-Infrastructure initiatives in Europe and emerging ones in Latin American Create a collaboration network to deploy a large portfolio of scientific applications on a well supported Pilot Test-bed Care in parallel of the training in grid technologies and of the knowledge dissemination and outreach Co-funded by European Commission: –1.7 M€ –0.4 M€ (CIEMAT) –0.5 M€ (partners counterpart)

Session 7a, 10 May 2007 IST-Africa 2007 Copyright 2007 EELA Project: IST Summary and Conclusions EELA is completely changing the perspective about e- Science in Latin America; This not only because of the number of grid sites, or CPUs, or Terabytes, but rather because: –we are "building" the human network creating/fostering scientific collaborations across the Atlantic; –we are raising the awareness of new ways of doing (e-)Science; –we are putting the seed for a long term sustainability of e- Infrastructures in the Region.
