NA5 and EGEE related projects
• NA5 = Policy and International Cooperation• Policy-related activities
– Mostly focusing on backing the eInfrastructure Reflection Group (www.e-irg.org) “supporting the creation of a framework for the easy and cost-effective shared use of electronic resources in Europe” Pursued mainly through a series of policy related White Papers and
Roadmap documents, along with related Workshops
• International Cooperation activities: – With other projects including “concertation” activities (i.e.
interacting with a cluster of related projects – forum of exchanging ideas)
– With other geographical regions (North America, Asia Pacific, Russia, South America)
– With standardisation bodies (GGF et al)
