Description
3. Impact
The aim of DEGREE project is to create a bridge between ES and Grid communities in order to influence the next generation of Grid technologies with accordance to ES needs. The requirements of ES applications and identified missing technologies are delivered as feedback to developers of Grid middleware. To better understand the requirements, test suites have been created with typical ES applications and test cases for realistic illustration of the requirements. Grid developers can use the test suites for testing and validating their middleware and tools. Roadmaps for building and promoting Grid technologies in ES communities are being created for new ES applications.

4. Conclusions / Future plans
The work in DEGREE project will increase the collaboration and close the gaps between ES and Grid communities. It delivers feedback from ES communities to Grid developers and will promote and widen the use of Grid technologies in ES applications. This will help to shape the next generation of common Grid platforms for ES applications.
1. Short overview
Earth Science (ES) is an all-encompassing term for sciences related to the planet Earth like seismology, geology, hydrology, and meteorology. DEGREE is a Specific Support Action (SSA) project that aims to promote Grid technologies throughout the large and diverse Earth Science community as a platform for e-collaboration in academic and industrial organizations.
