- NorGrid
The National Grid Initiative of Norway is NorGrid. The NorGrid initiative aims to establish and maintain a national grid infrastructure in Norway.
The NorGrid project was initially established as a subactivity of the Norwegian infrastructure project [http://www.notur.no/ Notur] for high-performance computing. In March 2007, NorGrid was recognized by the Research Council of Norway as a separate initiative with its own funding.
A detailed description of the mission, organization and status of NorGrid can be found on the [http://www.norgrid.no home pages] for NorGrid.
The coordinating legal entity of the NorGrid initiative is [http://sigma.uninett.no UNINETT Sigma] . NorGrid includes the national Norwegian NREN ( [http://www.uninett.no UNINETT] ), the University of Bergen ( [http://www.uib.no UiB] ) and its affiliated research organization [http://www.unifob.no Unifob] , the University of Oslo ( [http://www.uio.no UiO] ) and the University of Tromsø ( [http://www.uit.no UiT] ).
NorGrid collaborates with the Nordic Data Grid Facility ( [http://www.ndgf.org/ NDGF] ), a collaboration between the Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden), on the operations and support for the Nordic Tier-1 center that is part of the WLCG collaboration. NDGF is hosted by NORDUnet.
NorGrid is funded in part by the Research Council of Norway through the eVITA programme on e-Science.
