Common use of Central Europe Clause in Contracts

Central Europe. The Central Europe region will be represented by nine organisations in NA3 (GUP, UNIINNSBRUCK, CESNET, BUTE, ELUB, MTA SZTAKI, ICM, PSNC and II-SAS) that consist of a number of academic and research centres, out of which several already possess noticeable experience in Grid technology, owing to participation in the Framework 5 CrossGrid, DataGrid, Eurogrid, GridLab, GRIP and GRIDSTART projects. In the past years several members of the Federation have been organizing events oriented on dissemination of Grid technologies, such as the DataGrid conference in Budapest, the Euro PVM/MPI conference in Linz, the Cracow Grid Workshop, the IST 2002 event in Copenhagen, etc. These events often included "Grid tutorials" and/or "Grid open days". Many partners have also organized regular seminars on Grid technology at their institutions (e.g. Cyfronet), and several promoted Grid topics in lecturing and in student theses. Our NA3 activities in EGEE will be based on this experience. We plan to: • include Grid technology in academic lectures and X.Xx./Ph.D. theses at the technical universities of Cracow, Brno, Budapest, Innsbruck, Linz, Poznan and others, organize dedicated Grid seminars for researchers at every institution participating in the Federation; • prepare tutorials on layered software oriented towards interactive applications and organize dedicated training workshops (several per year) for students and potential users; • during the first year of the project (2004) - develop dedicated training center(s) in one or two partner countries, serving the whole community; • prepare dissemination brochures on applications which are native to the Federation (e.g. "Grids for flood crisis support"); • during the first two years of the project (2004 and 2005) – organize "Grid open days", oriented towards potential users (including demonstrations) in every country of the Federation; • develop and support dedicated Web pages. Germany & Switzerland FZK is the largest non-commercial science and engineering institution in Germany and will represent Germany & Switzerland in NA3. Regarding user training and induction, the centre has an impressive infrastructure at disposal for close cooperation with industry, universities and institutions of higher education. For this purpose FZK operates a training centre and it is envisaged to offer EGEE related courses and tutorials on a regular basis in order to promote the use of the EGEE infrastructure in Germany. The funded EGEE activity will take care of the training and induction of German users by: • Localization of EGEE related didactic material; • Presentation of EGEE training and course material. All activities will be performed in close collaboration with the German Grid User Support Centre and NeSC. A Web portal will be installed and supported to serve as a single point of contact for the German Grid community and all other interested parties.
