– e-Science is about global collaboration in key areas of science, and the next generation of infrastructure that will enable it e-Infrastructure = Networks + Grids ..
+ Operations, Support, Training… + Data centres, archives, instruments…

Research & Development Innovation Education & Training Building e-Infrastructures is a waste if we don’t “build”, at the same time, their users. Along with e-Infrastructures, t-Infrastructures and training programmes are also needed.

– Reinforce the impact of e-Infrastructures in scientific research defining and delivering stimulating programme of educational events, including Grid Schools and High Performance Computing courses; – Broaden the engagement in e-Science activities and collaborations both geographically and across disciplines.
– Spreading the knowledge about the “Grid Paradigm” to all potential users: both system administrators and application developers through an extensive training programme; – Easing the access of the trained people to the e-Infrastructures existing in the areas of action of the project; – Fostering the establishment of scientific collaborations among the countries/continents involved in the project.

and use GILDA to “gridify” and run applications of local interest;
technologists a unique occasion to learn and adopt the Grid paradigm through stimulating research programmes;
setup “clones” of GILDA locally to implement campus grids or even nation-wide e-infrastructures (good examples are already existing both in South Africa and Cuba);
willing to organize local training events on Grid computing:
– It can be undergraduate courses, M.Sc. courses, Ph.D. curricula, tutorials, Grid Schools, etc.

} A world-wide Distributed Computing Infrastructure can address big scientific challenges that are not manageable with departmental computing systems } Virtual Research Communities can transparently access different kind of resources: scientific applications and tools, Data Repositories, down to CPUs and Disks. The vision is that of VRCs sharing resources ubiquitously across different administrative domains } Regional e-Infrastructures should be made interoperable among each other. CHAIN is committed to promote and validate a proof-of-concept that addresses this
