Objectives for work package 3 – International Science Grid Sample Clauses

Objectives for work package 3 – International Science Grid. This Week International Science Grid This Week (xxx.xxxxx.xxx) is a free weekly online newsletter that promotes grid computing around the world by sharing stories of grid-empowered science and scientific discoveries. ISGTW was launched in November 2006, and is now produced through a collaboration between GridTalk and Open Science Grid (OSG) in the US. During the first year of GridTalk, 50 weekly issues of iSGTW were produced and after 18 months there are now over 5800 subscribers, a 65% increase since the start of GridTalk. Over the same period, the iSGTW website saw 235,300 page views, with its readership coming from a total of 196 countries. In total 62 separate European projects were covered during the first year, and 46 American projects. The first year reviewers noted the increase in subscribers, and commended the project team’s ‘flexibility and creativity’ in surpassing the original goal of increasing iSGTW subscriptions by 25% in year one “through proactive marketing linked to conference registrations.” Some examples of these marketing materials − posters displayed at events − are shown below. Publicity materials produced for iSGTW for events Although iSGTW is a successful dissemination tool for the multi-science grid projects EGEE and OSG, it is apparent from readership feedback that the appeal of this newsletter lies in its much wider scope and selection of subject matter. The newsletter covers a broad range of national and regional grid projects, as well as related developments in the wider world of distributed computing and supercomputing. During the first year of GridTalk, iSGTW ran two month-long themed series, one on particle physics and the LHC and a second on women in information technology. In an effort to attract and retain readers, iSGTW also covered stories on more unusual topics such as combating real-life, modern day pirates, earthquake prediction in Asia and innovative European art repositories. These stories often prove to be popular with other media outlets, and several have been reprinted in other online publications such as SupercomputingOnline and PhysOrg. Short readership surveys were conducted every six months, confirming that the iSGTW readership is happy with the publication and is keen to see a variety of topics covered, including the applications supported by the grid. To enhance the online profile of iSGTW and to expand its readership, iSGTW set up a Facebook site to act as a community discussion area for beginners to the...
