Financed by the 7th Framework Programme – Capacities, of the European Commission (FP7 INFRA-2010-2 call - Topic INFRA-2010-1.2.3: Virtual Research Communities), the GISELA Project (Grid Initiatives for e-Science virtual communities in Europe and Latin America) aims at:
The Project encompasses 19 Partners from 15 countries in Europe and Latin America: CIEMAT (Spain), CEDIA (Ecuador), CIDETYS (Panama), CLARA (Latin America), CNRS (France), CUBAENERGIA (Cuba), CUDI (Mexico), HLP (France), INFN (Italy), INNOVA-T (Argentina), RAAP (Poland), REUNA (Chile), UdelaR (Uruguay), UFCG (Brazil) , UFRJ (Brazil), ULA (Venezuela), UNAM (Mexico), UNIANDES (Colombia), UDP (Portugal).
Starting its operation in September 1st 2010 –with a lifetime defined in 24 months- GISELA aims at ensuring the long-term sustainability of the Latin American component of its e-Infrastructure. This translates into the following sub-objectives:
In parallel, the Project supports Virtual Research Communities, addressing both:
The objectives aforementioned are pursued following strategic lines of action.
