About AstroGrid


The AstroGrid project has involved four inter-related strands of work.

  • Collaborating world-wide to construct agreed international standards and protocols.
  • Constructing technical infrastructure software, for data centres and developers to deploy.
  • Establishing and running working services, such the AstroGrid Registry, and various VOSpace fileservers.
  • Constructing astronomical user software, and providing user support.

The core AstroGrid work has been funded by PPARC and by STFC. This core has been enhanced by European Commission funding, as part of the AVO, VOTECH, DCA, and AIDA projects. The total funding over eight years has been approximately £14M.
