European Grid Initiative
EGI will provide a Distributed Computing Infrastructure throughout Europe to support scientific collaboration and advancement. This will be the principal e-Infrastructure used by the Virtual Research Communities (VRC) involved in ROSCOE.

EGEE-III
|
p. 25
|
Enabling Grids for E-sciencE
This is the third and final phase of the EGEE series of projects. This project has built the largest production grid infrastructure in the world for academic research. The project also supported various scientific user communities. ROSCOE continues the work done in EGEE with the user communities and prepares them to be self-supporting.

GÉANT
|
p. 26
|
The pan-European GÉANT network and services enables research communities across Europe, and the world, to transform the way they collaborate on groundbreaking research. Together with the NRENs it connects, the fast and reliable GÉANT communication infrastructure is dedicated to serving Europe’s research and education community. This network is vital to effective collaboration within the ROSCOE VRCs.

p. 27
|
Worldwide LHC Computing Grid
This grid infrastructure is completely integrated in the EGEE grid infrastructure and, in the future, with EGI. This project serves the high-energy physics community at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). This is the largest user community on the grid infrastructure.
|
OSG
|
p. 29
|
Open Science Grid
This project has created a grid infrastructure in the United States similar to that provided by EGEE. User communities, such as high-energy physics, use resources in both EGEE and OSG and thus require a high level of interoperability between the infrastructures. Like EGEE, OSG is a multi-disciplinary grid serving a range of different scientific communities like those in ROSCOE.

Center for Autonomic Computing
This is an ESFRI-like project in the field of autonomic computing. Establishing a data repository and the development of behavioural (grid) models will provide an important basis for the subsequent development of autonomic software and systems.

CLARIN
|
p. 31
|
Common Languages and Resources Technology Infrastructure
The CLARIN project is a large-scale pan-European collaborative effort to create, coordinate and make language resources and technology available and readily usable. CLARIN offers scholars the tools to allow computer-aided language processing, addressing one or more of the multiple roles language plays (i.e. carrier of cultural content and knowledge, instrument of communication, component of identity and object of study) in the Humanities and Social Sciences. Interactions with this project will largely be through the Humanities VRC.

DARIAH
|
p. 32
|
Digital Research Infrastructure for the Arts and Humanities
DARIAH’s mission is to facilitate long-term access to, and use of all European arts and humanities data for the purposes of research. DARIAH is the digital research infrastructure that will connect scholarly data archives and repositories with cultural heritage for the arts and humanities across Europe, making scattered resources accessible through one click. Interactions with this project will largely be through the Humanities VRC.

FAIR
|
p. 33
|
Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research
This facility will soon become an international research centre in Darmstadt (Germany). Construction has already started at GSI in Darmstadt. FAIR will provide high-energy primary and secondary beams of ions of highest intensity and quality, including an “antimatter beam” of antiprotons allowing forefront research in five different disciplines of physics. Interactions with this project will be primarily through the Photon Science VRC.
