Achievements of FP5 Projects
Under FP5, the IST programme launched a total of 24 European Grid-related research projects, representing total EU funding of around EUR 58 million. These focused primarily on developing and integrating the intermediate software (or middleware) and validating the Grid concept in application areas.
FP5 Grid research achievements
The achievements of EU Grid research during FP5 can be summarised as follows:
- Creation of a strong Grid research community;
- Strengthening of Europe's position in Grid middleware development and standardisation;
- Leading position established for vertical Grid middleware orientated towards specific application requirements;
- First steps taken towards maturing Grid technologies for industrial and business use;
- Grid concept proven in e-Science application pilots followed by application by deployment in research infrastructures;
- Identification of emerging opportunities for service providers coupled with understanding that more commercial exploitation is critical for wider adoption of Grid Technologies.
