Industry Day, 27 April 2006, Paris Hot News

Introduction

Funded by the European Commission, the second phase of the EGEE project is starting on 1 April 2006. During the first phase, key applications were deployed in scientific fields, such as High Energy Physics, life sciences and earth observation, that have paved the way for application deployment in the Industrial sector and increased links with Industry..

Objectives

The EGEE Industry Day will be a unique platform for Industry to interact directly with the EGEE project, the biggest Grid infrastructure in Europe, and will bring together decision makers, research heads, policy makers and CTOs to learn how industrial applications can be deployed on EGEE.

The event will highlight where grid computing can create new industrial solutions and how organizations can benefit from sophisticated computing resources of grid, not available in traditional IT infrastructures. Interactive discussions will provide an opportunity to get an industry perspective and discover how to EGEE can work towards a commercial grid.

If you are interested in working with EGEE or deploying an industrial application on EGEE, register to attend the first Industry Day, 27 April 2006 in Paris, at the LPNHE (Laboratoire de Physique Nucleaire et des Hautes Energies), located in the centre of Paris, near the Seine river and the famous Quartier Latin.

The event is free of charge but registration is required due to the limited amount of space.
