Third Nordic Grid Neighbourhood Workshop,Vilnius, March 18, 2005

The 4th NGN workshop in St Petersburg

➢V. Fock Institute of Physics, St.Petersburg State University, May18-21.

➢ Workshop devoted to Medical Imaging Library

➢NGN prototype and other Grid applications.

➢As usual, Intention is to bring users of Grid technologies to share experience and make developers aware of current needs.

➢Among users (and developpers), also welcome are people involved in deployment (development) of various Grid middlewares

➢Developers encouraged to inform about newest achievements and near future plans

➢National Grid activites in the region will be presented. See http://www.nicpb.ee/NordicGrid/NordicGrid/NetworkMeetings

for more info about other workshops

● To obtain continued support for NGN project, it is a prerequiste that a report is submitted (along with all relevant attachments) in time and approved, i.e. that it demonstrates the progress and usefulness of the project.

by 1 September 2005

●To insure receiving the last 20 % of the grant awarded.

Nordic Grid Neighbourhood

NGN 2005-06

... 9 countries, 24 institutions?

I still doubt that 280 kNok is the only attraction!

Before that we have to demonstrate

that we reached our goals:

Education through lectures & tutorials

NorduGrid/ARC development and extension

Application in different areas, ...

WELCOME to theFirst Nordic Grid Neighbourhood Conference,

Oslo, August 15-17, 2005

Have a successful workshop!

Thanks to Grigori and the other organisors of this meeting.
