Grid Activities in Morocco

We present a report on Grid Computing activities in Morocco in the last four years as a consequence of an established collaboration between our institutions. Several research subjects have been conducted with students from the above-mentioned Moroccan institutions. Moreover a national grid initiative, called MaGrid, has been setup which aims at deploying a robust, flexible and sustainable Grid infrastructure. This initiative proved to be a catalyst for other universities and research centres in the country with a growing interest to collaborate in Grid related activities. Moreover the involvement of Morocco in the former EumedGrid project, a Grid Computing initiative in the Mediterranean region, has opened new collaboration efforts in terms of the Grid.
