Th e focus is especially on the promotion of the Next Generation Internet Protocol: IPv6. Th e IPv6 technology is ready for deployment, and India has been targeted as being one of the fi rst countries with the potential of adopting political directives to implement this new protocol nationwide. 6CHOICE will promote the use of this technology across Europe and India as a fundamental part of their research infrastructures.

Partners offer basic training to organisations in Europe and developing countries, and support real IPv6 deployments. roject website: www.6deploy.org Click on the link below to access the project documents available in the DL No publisher Gio 2010-06-23T12:03:35Z EU Related Project http://www.beliefproject.org/about-e-infrastructures/related-projects/balticgrid-ii The BalticGrid project is designed to increase the impact, adoption and reach, and to further improve the support of services and users of the recently created e-Infrastructure in the Baltic States. This will be achieved by an extension of the BalticGrid infrastructure to Belarus; interoperation of the gLite-based infrastructure with UNICORE and ARC based Grid resources in the region; identifying and addressing the specific needs of new scientific communities such as nano-science and engineering sciences; and by establishing new Grid services for linguistic research, Baltic Sea environmental research, data mining tools for communication modelling and bioinformatics.

Th e project will develop a high-speed backbone network among the NRENs of the South Caucasus countries and enable connectivity to the pan-European GÉANT2 network. In addition, operational support will be supplied from the partners to achieve the sustainability of the network.

These e-Infrastructures, which offer mechanisms that concurrently exploit networks, grids, and data in a seamless fashion, will enable scientific communities to operate within a coherent pan-European model, regardless of the location of their research facilities.

The resulting infrastructure is unmatched world-wide in its heterogeneity and complexity, enabling the operation of a powerful Supercomputing Grid built on top of national services, facilitating Europe’s ability to undertake world-leading computational science research. DEISA has already proved its relevance for advancing computational sciences in leading scientifi c and industrial disciplines within Europe and has paved the way towards the deployment of a co-operative European HPC ecosystem.

It focuses on the following elements: (i) Strategy: establishment of a “European Confederation of Digital Repositories” that will off er to all interested stakeholders an open forum for discussions on the theme of Digital Repositories, interacting with and complementing other related organisations and communities both in Europe and globally.

An I3 initiative is operative in the field, which provides access to NMR instrumentation and pursues technical advancement (EU-NMR). In addition, the EC has funded a Coordination action (NMR-Life) aimed at the establishment of common experimental approaches and at the spreading of best experimental practices across Europe. Altogether, these two initiatives provide a reference point for the large majority of European scientists with an interest in bio-NMR.
