| Abstract: |
The European Union has invested heavily in e-science programmes over the past years both
at the National and at the European levels with impressive results. One of the most important
results of the EU effort is the development of an European Grid e-Infrastructure. In fact,
because Grid technology is now recognized as a fundamental component for e-Infrastructures,
it has been identified as a strategic priority for Europe.
This paper presents: a) the current status of EGI, the European Grid Infrastructure, and of
the Astronomical VRC (Virtual Research Community) within it; b) future perspectives and
possible evolutions for the Astronomical Community within EGI. |
