The Netherlands National Science Grid, internally known as BIG GRID, is a cooperative project hosted by NCF/NWO, and is recognised by the Dutch Ministry of Science and Education.
In 2006, a few large projects were granted awards in the framework of "Big Infrastructures", for scientific research in the Netherlands. One of the awarded projects was the BIG GRID project, proposed in collaboration by the National Computing Facilities foundation (NCF), the National institute for sub-atomic physics (Nikhef) and the Netherlands Bio-Informatics Centre (NBIC).
BIG GRID will be officially launched on September 17, 2007, although parts of the project have been in place since 2002.
