The majority of IT application developing organisations is still afraid to delve into the use of Grid technologies, as these still sound new and remote to them. GREDIA (FP6 34363 - Grid enabled access to rich media content) will address this problem with the provision of a Grid application development platform.

There are dozens, perhaps hundreds, of Grid projects going on in the world. Among them, some concentrate on the development of software tools (the so called "middleware"), others on services, others get ready for different scientific applications and others optimise the underlying network, like EC-GIN project.
