DIESIS project

The DIESIS project gives the following definition:

The main objective of the eInfrastructure initiative is to support the creation of a framework (political, technological and administrative) for the

easy and cost-effective shared use of distributed electronic resources across Europe - particularly for grid computing, storage and networking. The e-Infrastructure Reflection Group (e-IRG) was founded to define and recommend best practices for each of the (pan-)European grid efforts. It consists of official government delegates from all EU countries. The ideas and recommendations are described in a white paper that is augmented upon each presidency.
