During last years the e-Infrastructure concept has been extensively elaborated and promoted as an essential pillar for the implementation of ERA (European Research Area). The main components of this infrastructure are the network for education and research and the Grid infrastructures. At the European level important efforts and resourced have been devoted to the development of both components, with joint financial support provided by Framework Programmes 6 and 7 of EU and national research programmes. At the national level, the high-speed communication network for education and research, and national grid infrastructure for research are included in the list of priority investment projects in the Information and Communications Technologies domain. The main financial support for the development of these projects is provided by the Sectorial Operational Programme "Increase of Economic Competitiveness". ICI Bucharest is among beneficiary organizations of this support. This paper presents the European context for e-Infrastructure development as support for e-Science concept implementation, the evolution and current status of Grid infrastructures at the European and national levels, a short review of the development of Grid computing at ICI Bucharest, the main objectives and activities of the structural funds grant awarded to the institute for a significant upgrade of the current grid site RO-01-ICI.
