SwiNG is the Swiss National Grid Association. It's mission is to:

• Ensure competitiveness of Swiss science, education and industry by creating value through resource sharing.
• Establish and coordinate a sustainable Swiss Grid infrastructure as a dynamic network of resources across different locations and administrative domains.
• Provide a platform for interdisciplinary collaboration to leverage the Swiss Grid activities, supporting end-users, researchers, education centers, resource providers and industry.
• Represent the interests of the national Grid community towards other national and international bodies.

In a Memorandum of Understanding SwiNG has delegated the NGI-CH role to SWITCH, i.e. SWITCH together with the Swiss Institute of Particle Physics, represented by ETHZ and the Computational Chemistry group at UZH form the joint research unit currently participating in the FP7 EGI-InSPIRE project.

In 2012 SwiNG will take over the NGI-CH role of SWITCH.
