National GRID InitiativeNational GRID Initiative

LitGrid infrastructure is deeply related to the grid infrastructures of Baltic States (BalticGrid project) and of EGEE (European Grid for Enabling the E-science) - on the level of middleware and some applications

The project BalticGrid-II will involve scientists of Lithuania even more deeply into European Research Area

to encourage Lithuanian scientists to use grid technologies and to participate in their development

Investment program financed by the Ministry of Science and Education of LR


LitGrid unites 13 academic partners –universities, research institutes, colleges: partners have provided for common infrastructure

more than 400 CPUs more than 6 TB of storage

Institute of Theoretical Physics and Astronomy, ITPAInstitute of Theoretical Physics and Astronomy, ITPA largest Lithuanian research institute in astronomy

and fundamental physics. A host of the first computer.
