EUAsiaGrid Workshop
Thursday, 18 September

Organized by Marco Paganoni (CERN) and Simon C. Lin (Academic Sinica Grid Centre)

Description
In this workshop, we present and discuss the results and status update of EUAsiaGrid project after 6 months from its start. Launched in April 2008, EUAsiaGrid (http://www.euasiagrid.org/) is a coordination action that aims to define and implement a policy to promote EGEE middle ware across Asia-Pacific countries and improve regional and cross-project collaborations. Spreading dissemination, providing training, supporting scientific applications and monitoring the results are the missions of EUAsiaGrid project.

We will share our experience of dissemination and training in Asia. Furthermore we intend to attract people interested in extending their scientific activities in the Asia-Pacific region. The session will also be an occasion to address any issue about cooperation with EGEE and the other Grid related projects in the region.

The Collaboration Board comprises one management representative from each partner and the Project Manager.
