Project Highlights Full Involvement in Indian main e-Infrastructures Development – Establishment of an Internationally Recognised Indian Grid Certification Authority: Worldwide grids access • established by CDAC – GARUDA NGI entered foundation phase • Closer cooperation on interoperability and use of glite middleware • S. Chattopadhyay is GARUDA2 Chief Investigator – Creation of a multi-gigabit research network: National Knowledge Network Plan • P.S. Dhekne is chair of the NKN Grid Committee – Improvement of international connectivity: • GÉANT – ERNET link upgraded from 45 to 100 Mbit/s • Dedicated link TIFR-CERN at 1 Gbit/s for LHC - now peered to GEANT • Decisive role of BARC, ERNET, TIFR with GARR & INFN • Involvement of India in TEIN3 – • D. Singh Representative of India
e-Infrastructures across Europe and India Foreword by Mario Campolargo Director, Emerging Technologies & Infrastructures Information Society and Media Directorate-General • From the very beginning international cooperation has been at the core of the 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. • EU-IndiaGrid, one of the projects co-funded by the European Commission, is significantly improving the interoperability between Indian and European Grid infrastructures. Its contribution is bringing forward EU-Indian collaboration in e- 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 • The EU-IndiaGrid project is playing a key role in fostering the cooperation between the GARUDA and regional WLCG Projects and EGEE, the major European Grid Initiative, and has achieved significant progress so far • This “bridging” role between European and Indian grid infrastructure 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.

Project Approach
The Vision
“an excellent example of EU India collaboration underpinning all areas of science” . ( Dr Chidambaram, Principal Scientific Advisor to the Government of India and member of Government Cabinet , referring to EU-IndiaGrid in his opening talk at India-EU Workshop on Research Infrastructures ) 12 12
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. Raghavan, Scientific Secretary, Office of the Principal Scientific Adviser to the Government of India, letter to Alberto Masoni, EU-IndiaGrid2 Project Coordinator, November 2011 13 13
Consolidate & enhance cooperation between European and Indian e-Infrastructures • Excellent cooperation established with: • GARUDA National Grid Initiative – Bridging with European Grid Initiative • NKN Project – Bridging with GÉANT through TEIN • Worldwide LHC Computing Grid (WLCG) – Bridging regional WLCG with CERN and worldwide
Consolidate & enhance cooperation between European and Indian e-Infrastructures Specific activity supported by the Project: • Establishing TEIN 3 - high speed connectivity between NKN, India & Europe • Bridging with NKN and Migrating Grid applications on NKN • Operating Grid Certification Authority in India • Bridging regional WLCG and GARUDA to EGI e-infrastructure 15 15
