• all those entities related to organisations, formally based in and/or having offices inside the Netherlands, that are involved in the research or deployment of multi-domain distributed computing infrastructure, intended for cross-organisational sharing of resources. Only research and educational organisations, and organisational units of other organisations involved in research or education for non commercial purposes on a not-for-profit basis, qualify under this policy.
• all those entities associated to the DutchGrid platform.
