BeneficiariesParticipant 1: The European Organisation for Nuclear Research, CERN CERN is funded by 20 European member states with an annual budget of approximately 1000 MCHF, counting 2600 permanent staff. CERN is currently constructing the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will be the world’s most powerful accelerator providing research facilities for several thousand High Energy Physics (HEP) researchers from all over the world. The LHC start up is planned for mid-2008. Four LHC experiments designed and constructed by large international collaborations (each with up to 2000 scientists and engineers coming from more than 250 institutes) will collect data over the next 10 years. These experiments will generate of the order of 15 Petabytes per year, to be shared with all the participating scientists looking for discoveries to understand the fundamental laws of nature. The computing capacity required to analyse the data far exceeds the capacity needs of any comparable physics experiments today and needs the combined resources of some 200 computer centres world-wide. CERN has chosen Grid technology to address the huge data storage and analysis challenge of LHC. CERN, “where the Web was born”, has been at the forefront of computing for many years and now coordinates the world’s largest Grid project “Enabling Grids for E-SciencE” (EGEE). CERN also has a long tradition of collaborating with IT industry, including via EU-supported research programmes. The IT Department currently has 280 staff, predominantly engineers, who operate one of Europe’s largest Computer Centres supporting over 10,000 users. CERN has prominently contributed to a number of EGEE-related FP6 Grid projects aiming at extending the EGEE production Grid infrastructure to new geographical areas and to serve new applications domains (EuMedGrid, EuChinaGrid, EELA, BalticGrid, SEEGRID-2, Health-e-Child, DILIGENT, OMII-Europe). CERN also coordinates the ISSeG project, focusing on site security, and the ETICS project, providing a build and test infrastructure for Grid developments, currently being used by EGEE.
