The National Grid Initiative of Norway is NorGrid. The NorGrid initiative aims to establish and maintain a national grid infrastructure in Norway.
The NorGrid project was initially established as a subactivity of the Norwegian infrastructure project Notur for high-performance computing. In March 2007, NorGrid was recognized by the Research Council of Norway as a separate initiative with its own funding.
A detailed description of the mission, organization and status of NorGrid can be found on the home pages for NorGrid.
The coordinating legal entity of the NorGrid initiative is UNINETT Sigma. NorGrid includes the national Norwegian NREN (UNINETT), the University of Bergen (UiB) and its affiliated research organization Unifob, the University of Oslo (UiO) and the University of Tromsø (UiT).
NorGrid collaborates with the Nordic Data Grid Facility (NDGF), a collaboration between the Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden), on the operations and support for the Nordic Tier-1 center that is part of the WLCG collaboration. NDGF is hosted by NORDUnet.
NorGrid is funded in part by the Research Council of Norway through the eVITA programme on e-Science.
