Enabling research collaborations to tackle society’s most challenging issues
The European Grid Infrastructure (EGI) is a federation of National Grid Initiatives (NGI) and international research institutions such as CERN. It aim is to provide computing resources to researchers and scientists, thereby supporting the vision of an online European Research area of collaborative-driven innovation.
EGI is a truly transnational organisation, integrating computing resources provided by more than 35 countries from across Europe and beyond. EGI.eu coordinates core common tasks, allowing NGIs to focus on the smart use of resources and of funding that can be invested on a better national infrastructure for their users.
EGI is integrated in the European vision outlined in the Horizon 2020 strategy and contributes actively to promote knowledge transfer and innovation across Europe.
