Definition of e-Science
e-Science is about providing significantly enhanced
research infrastructure by utilizing distributed
resources such as, computers, storage devices,
scientific instruments, and experts using
information technology
Introduction

Domestic Situation
Construction of Grid infrastructure is being constructed
through “National Grid Project” of Ministry of Information
and Communication
Introduction
Status
Project
Strategy
Limited to the construction of next generation internet
Support for application projects are limited, only small scale
projects are supported
National scale application projects are not possible
Sharing and remote use of expensive equipments in
government labs and academic institutions are very limited
