One June 1 2006 the BeinGRid Research project (
www.beingrid.com) has started. This EU project will undertake a series of targeted business experiment pilots designed to implement and deploy Grid solutions in a broad spectrum of European business sectors. Nineteen business experiments are planned in the initial stage of the project with a second call for proposals in the latter stage. Secondly, a toolset repository of Grid service components and best practice will be created to support European businesses who wish to take-up this important new technology. Coupled with these two main activities are cross work package technical support and development, dissemination, demonstration and training activities. To minimise redevelopment of components, BEinGRID will deploy innovative Grid solutions using existing Grid components from across the European Union and beyond.
Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University will bring in its expertise on smart business networks and e-business models in one of the business experiments which is focused on the design and validation of a financial grid-enabled e-service. Other partners in this subproject are Rabobank, LogicaCMG and AlmereGrid.
