Network of Excellence (NoE)
Definition– A Network of Excellence is an instrument for strengthening
excellence by tackling the fragmentation of European research, where the main deliverable is a durable structuring and shaping of the way that research is carried out on the topic of the network.
Aims and Objectives– NoE are designed to strengthen scientific and technological
excellence on a particular research topic through the durable integration of the research capacities of the participants. They aim to overcome the fragmentation of European research by:
• gathering the critical mass of resources• gathering the expertise needed to provide European leadership
– NoE also have to spread excellence beyond the boundaries of its partnership.

CoreGRID NoE objectives
To build a European-wide research laboratory– To avoid fragmentation of Grid research activities in Europe– Create the European “Grid Lighthouse” and be seen as such worldwide – To achieve integration and sustainability
To build solid foundations for GRID and Peer-to-Peer (P2P) technologies – Both on a methodological basis and a technological basis.– Support medium and long term research activities
Achieve and promote scientific and technological excellence within & beyond the Grid research community
Gather and disseminate European research
A think-tank for spin-off projects– EC funded, bilateral projects, international cooperations, …

Network priorities
Excellence– CoreGRID brings together a European critical mass of
well-known experts in GRID and P2P research allowing to compete with research and development in North America and Asia
– An ambitious joint program of activities to deal with well identified challenges
Long-term integration & structuring– Set-up a sustainable European research laboratory with
an associated management• With several Institutes• With research groups assigned to Institutes

• 2 activities :– Fellowship Programme - Young researchers hosted by two
institutes for two distinct periods ~ 600 k€• CALL 1, JANUARY 2005 (12 applications and 3 candidates selected)• CALL 2, MAY 2005 (28 applications and 4 candidates selected)• CALL 3, DECEMBER 2005 (5 positions offered)
– Research Exchange Programme - Researcher or student from 1 member to another, two weeks to six months~ 480 k€
• Exchange visit in Dortmund (8 weeks)• Exchange visit in Cyprus (20 weeks)
• Search for external sources of funding is also needed, e.g. the Marie-Curie-Programme
• Mobility web portal available at the CoreGRID web site
