Description

(Closed)
This session will map the current status of National Grid
Initiatives in as many countries represented in the EGEE-
II project as possible, as well as representatives from
other areas where the NGI concept is debated. The
inputs about the status of their
National Grid Initiatives and / or major national Grid
projects and efforts have been collected from participating
countries via a pre-distributed questionnaire. The
Policy Workshop will also give important information
about the different countries' status. The perspectives for
FP7 in each country will also be documented.
