The full title of the project is Grid Economics and Business Models and was a specific targeted research project led by the International University in Germany, contract number 033634.

The GridEcon project officially started 1 July 2006, and lasted for 34 months. The maximum community contribution to the project will be 2,350,000 Euro.  The contact for the project is Sonja Klingert Sonja.Klingert@i-u.de.

The project continues in the open source domain and we are actively seeking involvement and enhancement from all interested third parties.
