e-Infrastructures across Europe and India Foreword by Mario Campolargo
Director, Emerging Technologies & Infrastructures Information Society and Media Directorate-General
European Union e-Infrastructures strategy. Therefore, creating bridges between the e- Infrastructures in Europe and similar infrastructures in India has become an essential element in our approach to increase mutual scientific collaborations.
significantly improving the interoperability between Indian and European Grid
Science and effectively mobilising actors on both sides, with clear benefits in a variety of scientific disciplines. I expect that this renewed and reinforced synergy with the Indian research infrastructures will become, together with other successful international cooperation projects, an important building block for future global virtual research communities.
e-Infrastructures across Europe and India The Indian National Grid: the Need and the Purpose by Dr. R. Chidambaran
Principal Scientific Adviser to the Government of India
cooperation between the GARUDA and regional WLCG Projects and EGEE, the major European Grid Initiative, and has achieved significant progress so far
has now the opportunity to improve, thanks to the recently approved plan for a multi-gigabit, low latency, e-Infrastructure:
National Knowledge Network (NKN). The NKN project will
represent a major step forward setting up the layer for an ICT-based infrastructure interconnecting the major laboratories and research centers across India.

Cooperation with Global Virtual Research Communities through high impact projects like LHC Grid & EU-IndiaGrid gave India much needed impetus for creating an e- infrastructure within India Dr R. Chidambaram Principal Scientific Adviser to the Government of India, Dr Shailesh Nayak, Secretary Ministry of Earth Sciences & P.S.Dhekne, Scientific Consultant, Office of Principal Scientific Adviser to the Government of India, from Contribution at the CHAIN- EU-IndiaGrid2 Confrence on e-Infrastructures for Climate Change, ICTP, May 2011 Through my interactions with academic and research colleagues, I get the impression that Indian participation in the EU-IndiaGrid project had a significant impact on a variety of scientific disciplines such as biology, earth science, material science, and the Indian collaboration in Large Hadron Collider (LHC). In particular, remote control & operation of ESRF facility at Grenoble, France using Trans-Eurasia Information Network (TEIN3) connectivity, has become folklore! Professor S.V.

…India is effectively participating in the major international experimental programmes in
Europe such as LHC, ITER, and others. DAE scientists have a major role in these programmes from the Indian side. We would therefore like to support consolidation of accomplishments so far and their further enlargement through a mature cooperation on Grid interoperability and middleware developments between Europe and India.
From a Letter of Dr. Anil Kakodkar (Chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission & Secretary of the Department of Atomic Energy) to Ms Viviane Reding (European Commissioner, Information Society and Media), 25 February 2008
We are happy to acknowledge the good collaboration between India and Europe in the field
unique science and research facilities to share: from sub-atomic particles in the Large Hadron Collider to looking into the deepest universe with the EXPReS project to the EU-IndiaGrid project supporting a common, interoperable grid infrastructure between India and Europe.

EU-IndiaGrid played a bridging role between European and Indian e-Infrastructure & Thanks to the leading role in the e-Infrastructures development by EU-IndiaGrid Indian partners, the project had the opportunity to play an active role at the core of the impressive evolution of Indian e- Infrastructures in the last two years.
