The Ukrainian National Grid has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the European Grid Infrastructure on 22December. The agreement was signed by EGI.eu’s director Steven Newhouse on behalf of the EGI community, and Genady Zinovjev, Chief of the BCC UNG on behalf of the UNG community.
The purpose of this Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) is to define a framework of collaboration between EGI.eu and BCC (hereafter also referred to as “the Party” or the “Parties”). The Parties recognise, by this MoU, the opening of a wider and longer-term cooperation in activities that will bring visible benefits.
The specific goals of the collaboration are:
1. To enhance the capacities of both infrastructures;
2. To provide Local and Global operational services as needed to support the international user
community and the EGI operational needs;
3. To subscribe to a mandatory set of policies, procedures and OLAs;
4. To comply with the operations interfaces required by the EGI Operations Architecture, which are needed to ensure seamless and interoperable access to resources;
5. To participate in the Operations Management Board in order to contribute to the EGI operations agenda;
6. To participate in the Security Policy Team in order to contribute to the development of the
security policies fabric of the infrastructure.
For the purposes of the implementation of the Memorandum of Understanding
between EGI.eu and BCCResource Infrastructure Provider MoU), amongst the Resource Centres linked to BCC UNG, the following ones have adhered to this MoU:
