The work already done in the EUMEDELID project has led to a pilot Grid Infrastructure which covers almost all the Mediterranean Area. EUMEDELID-Support will start from there and make a further step to push towards a larger production quality e-Infrastructure and the adoption of more sustainable organisational models for the provision of services. EUMEDELID-Support (2010-2012), kicked off on 1 January 2010, with its launch event held 25-28 January 2010 in Cairo, Egypt, wants to build on the successful outcomes of EUMEDELID (2006-2008) and spotlight Europe and the Mediterranean and Middle-east regions through an open dialogue aimed at increasing stakeholder and community awareness on the fundamental importance of e-Infrastructures with the ultimate goal of ensuring long-term sustainability.
