About D4Science

D4Science is one of the main European e-Infrastructure project, involving 11 participants and co-funded by the European Commission's Seventh Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development. The project started in January 2008 and has a duration of 2 years.

D4Science aims to continue the path that the GÉANT, EGEE, and DILIGENT projects have initiated towards establishing networking, grid-based, and data-centric e-Infrastructures that accelerate multidisciplinary research by eventually overcoming several crucial barriers that stand in the way, primarily those related to heterogeneity, sustainability and scalability.
