GridSTART objectives
Consolidating technical advances across a cluster of projects in order to exploit fully the synergies between their activities;
Driving forward GRID developments by identifying and amplifying synergies between different application areas;
Encouraging interaction amongst similar activities within Europe and worldwide;
Ensuring that Europe plays a full role in the setting of international standards. Strong participation in the GGF has already been identified as a priority;
Stimulating the early take-up by industry and research of Grid-enabled applications;
Opening the benefits of cluster membership by association to other suitable EU and national projects.

Role of CERN
The cluster technical committee:
A cluster-wide technical committee comprising one representative from each of the clustered projects will be set up to identify and reinforce common goals between participating projects in the cluster. This committee will monitor technical activities across the cluster, provide a technical audit of the cluster of projects, develop a technical roadmap for GRID developments, provide expert advice to member projects and develop a coherent position with respect to international standardisation activities. The technical committee will provide important input to the standards work of task 3.1 and thereby contribute to the standards report. The work will be intimately linked with the activities of the Global Grid Forum Working Groups and will seek to ensure a true European stake in the directions taken by these Working Groups.
