The European perspective - eEurope
Access to advanced services
•
EU Geant  binds national
networks and creates a high
performance production network
for Europe
•
EGEE  will bind national Grid
infrastructures - focussing all
activities towards establishing a
production quality Grid for Europe
•
Both together constitute the
eInfrastructure
Access to advanced services
SEE-GRID: Contribute to building a Pan-EU eInfrastructure
by expanding the “eInfrastructure inclusion” into South-East
Europe
Contract No.: FP6-RI-002356
Project type: Specific Support Action

E-learning for Improving access to
Information Society for SMEs in the SEE Area
EU Initiative INTEREG IIIB CADSES project October 2005June 2008
Goal
…improving the access to knowledge and the
information society of SMEs in South-East Europe,
through close cooperation of academic and business
communities at a transnational level, by transferring
EU best practice training know-how and by developing
national training strategies. Emphasis is given to
SMEs from rural and distant areas in Albania,
Macedonia, Bulgaria and Serbia-Montenegro.

Conclusions
•
Thanks to SEEREN, SEEGRID, SEFIRE and wider international and
national financial support, remarkable results were achieved:
–
–
–
•
•
•
•
eInfrastructure
GRID cluster included in regional and European EGEE GRID network
Human network in region
Thanks to established infrastructure and human network, new joint
international projects where enabled (SEEREN2, SEEGRID2, SEEGRIDSCI)
Significant experience in management of the multi country projects were
gained
Complementing EC Framework Programs with regional/national initiatives
(e.g. in the case of SEE initiatives like the Balkan Action Plan), EU structural
funds, support/funding programs from global organizations like NATO,
UNESCO, donations from industry HP, CISKO, SUN, etc., can contribute to
the sustainability of the effort
We expect further international support mainly through the joint projects in
high performance networking, e-Science and e-Education and believe that
sustainability will be achieved with expected Governmental financial support
and MARNet own resources.
