Additional JRU established with 3 members in total: DEPARTMENT OF METEOROLOGY at ELU and SEISMOLOGICAL OBSERVATORY of GGRI

– The current JRU has been formed by two smaller application developer/user teams and one team that deals with grid development, operation, support, and training. This 'satellite' JRU will exploit the nationwide Grid resources (operated by the another HGCC JRU) together with other international resources for a specific purpose, namely for applications in the field of seismology and meteorology.

the Hungarian Grid Competence Center (HGCC), involving the key and most experienced Grid players from Hungary, has launched the National Grid Initiative and intends to become the national reference point.

– HGCC establish another JRU. SZTAKI is member in both JRUs

– The management of two separated JRUs with different objectives (instead of one heterogeneous JRU) and with different leaders seems to be more feasible.
