Grid projects funded by the EU under FP6
In the summer of 2004 the European Commission launched 12 research projects in the area of Grid technologies (see press release) that will receive 52 M€ of EU funding. The bulk of the EU funding is going to 4 projects - SIMDAT, NextGRID, Akogrimo and CoreGRID - which each are receiving an EU contribution of around 9 M€. Together with 8 smaller projects, these bring together dozens of universities, research institutes, large and small companies from across Europe to muster the "critical mass" of expertise and resources necessary to trigger change.
Their approach to Grid research combines "technology push" (developing underlying technologies and interoperability standards), with "application pull" (developing the enabling technologies needed for real-world applications, such as modeling, simulation, data mining and collaborative working tools).

In the summer of 2006 the European Commission launched 20 new Grid projects receiving more than 70 M € of EU funding. They included three large Integrated Projects: BEinGRID, BREIN and XtreemOS. In the beginning of 2007 three additional projects were launched focusing on the cooperation with China on Grid Technologies.
