About CHAIN
The CHAIN project was set-up to co-ordinate and leverage the efforts made over the past 6 years to extend the European e-infrastructure’s operational and organisational principles to other parts of the world. Using these established principles, CHAIN envisions a harmonised and optimised interaction model for e-infrastructure, especially grids. The project will establish a strategy and define the instruments needed to ensure coordination and interoperation of the European Grid Infrastructure with those emerging from Asia, Mediterranean, Latin America and Sub-Saharan Africa.
