• Start with 3 clusters M01 (6 nodes), M02 (3 nodes) and M03 (3 nodes) with CERN (Red Hat) Linux 7.3 and LCG_2 GRID middleware
• Merge the MK01 and MK02 clusters into the new MK01 cluster under Scientific Linux 3.0.3 and LCG-2_4_0 throughout
– Preparation and upgrade from RedHat Linux 7.3 to Scientific Linux 3.0.3 and installation of LCG-2_3_0
– Upgrading to LCG-2_4_0 – Certification of RA, GIM and two host nodes grid.-ce.ii.edu.mk

National Grid Initiative -MARGI
MARGI – Macedonian Academic and Research Grid Initiative was launched at ‘Ss. Cyril and
Methodius’ University on April 15, 2005
National Grid Initiatives (NGIs) can be defined as concentrated efforts taken at National level in order to deploy, operate, and expand grid infrastructures in a coherent and coordinated way

The European perspective - eEurope
Access to advanced services• EU Geant binds national
networks and creates a high performance production network for Europe
• EGEE will bind national Grid infrastructures - focussing all activities towards establishing a production quality Grid for Europe
• Both together constitute the eInfrastructure
SEE-GRID: Contribute to building a Pan-EU eInfrastructure by expanding the “eInfrastructure inclusion” into South-East
Europe

Access to advanced services
E-learning for Improving access to Information Society for SMEs in the SEE Area
EU Initiative INTEREG IIIB CADSES project October 2005- June 2008
Goal
…improving the access to knowledge and the information society of SMEs in South-East Europe,
through close cooperation of academic and business communities at a transnational level,
by transferring EU best practice training know-how and by developing national training
strategies. Emphasis is given to SMEs from rural and distant areas in Albania, Macedonia,
Bulgaria and Serbia-Montenegro.
Future Plans
• Build on the tremendous brain potential in the region;
• Focus not only on easing the digital divide, but on achieving it in a sustainable way!
• Go for new opportunities and projects towards the upgrade of networking infrastructure/equipment, under – FP6, FP7, NATO, ERDF,
Government sponsorships, Vendor sponsorships, Bilateral programmes UNDP, EIB, WorldBank, USAID, etc.

Conclusions
• Thanks to SEEREN, SEEGRID, SEFIRE and wider international and national financial support, remarkable results were achieved:– eInfrastructure– GRID cluster included in regional and European EGEE GRID network– Human network in region
• Thanks to established infrastructure and human network, new joint international projects where enabled (SEEREN2, SEEGRID2, SEEGRID-SCI)
• Significant experience in management of the multi country projects were gained
• Complementing EC Framework Programs with regional/national initiatives (e.g. in the case of SEE initiatives like the Balkan Action Plan), EU structural funds, support/funding programs from global organizations like NATO, UNESCO, donations from industry HP, CISKO, SUN, etc., can contribute to the sustainability of the effort
• We expect further international support mainly through the joint projects in high performance networking, e-Science and e-Education and believe that sustainability will be achieved with expected Governmental financial support and MARNet own resources.
