Roadmap online consultation

EchoGRID delivered a draft of pdfroadmap that identifies common areas of interest and opportunities for collaboration on Grid technologies between Europe and China. This roadmap provides a shared European and Chinese vision of future GRID research perspectives for both research and industrial communities for the next 3, 5 and 10 years. This vision will establish a clear Technological and Research Agenda on which both regions may collaborate.

EchoGRID is launching an open electronic consultation on major challenges, promising research directions, and effective forms of European-Chinese collaboration in the addressed Thematic Areas.

The Grid community is warmly invited to actively participate in the EchoGRID roadmap electronic consultation, and to contribute to shape the content and structure of future international R&D collaborations in the Grid area.

The following Thematic Areas are in focus in the context of this consultation:

  Based on the draft roadmap recently produced, we invite you to openly provide your comments and feedback.

EchoGRID Researcher Exchange Programme open to D3 unit projects
EchoGRID is pleased to announce the new EchoGRID Researcher Exchange Programme (REP).
The consortium has implemented a specific mobility programme which is aimed at encouraging researchers (staff) to visit, for a given period, research teams between Europe and China.

The exchange of researchers between the EchoGRID organisations is certainly one of the most effective ways to achieve long term cooperation. "Exchange of researcher" means the visit of a researcher or a staff from one EchoGRID partner to another, for a period ranging from two to ten weeks, between Europe and China.
After one year of activity, the consortium decided to open the EchoGrid Exchange Programme to the other projects funded by the European commission unit D3 of the Information Society and media Directorate-General.
The funding allocated to this activity is administered by ERCIM.
