The DILIGENT Consortium brings together a diverse group of professionals, software developers and highly qualified researchers with complementary competences in grid computing and digital libraries.

The DILIGENT partners can be divided into four categories:

• Scientific Partners (SP)
• Industrial Partners (IP)
• User Communities (UC)
• Content Providers (CP)
