In accordance with the working plan of the EGEE III project, ICI Bucharest, organized the training event “Grid Days” in Campulung Muscel in Arges County, on December 14-15, 2009. The event was also supported by the Western University of Timisoara (WUT) and the University of Bucharest (UB) - members of the RoGrid JRU involved in the EGEE III project. 

Place: Istanbul - Turkey
The EGEE '08 Conference will be held from 22 to 26 September 2008 in Istanbul - Turkey hosted by TUBITAK ULAKBIM at the Harbiye Askeri Museum.
Grid computing is now an essential daily tool for an ever increasing number of researchers and scientists to meet their e-science challenges. As EGEE and related grid infrastructures move towards a sustainable, interoperable model it is important for new and existing Grid users to come together with national, regional and scientific audiences to develop and consolidate plans for a reliable, seamless infrastructure on a global scale.
The EGEE'08 conference will provide the perfect opportunity for both business and academic sectors to network with the EGEE communities, collaborating infrastructure and application projects, developers, decision makers alike, to realize this vision and make it happen.

Overview
The event gathers an expert panel offering insight into how open source distributed computing is being applied in science and industry. In particular, the event will encourage discussion on how new developments in computing technologies emerging from the world of science could benefit finance, pharmaceuticals, engineering and other industrial sectors.
 
Aims
* Connect scientists funded by STFC and EGEE with European companies and researchers from other research councils for a hands-on discussion about opportunities for knowledge transfer and collaborative development.
* Generate a number of prospects for partnerships with industry and scientists from non-STFC domains.

Programme
The Plenary Session is led by experts from EGEE, represented by Dr Bob Jones, Project Director, along with GridPP and leading industrial partners.
 
Dedicated Tracks on:
* Life Sciences & Healthcare
* Energy & Finance
 
Elevator pitches from several new start-up activities in Grid computing that are being spun out of CERN and related laboratories.
Q&A session with the panel members followed by a Networking Cocktail Reception for delegates and speakers.

The third EGEE User Forum was held in Clermont-Ferrand - France at "Le Polydôme" Convention Centre from 11 to 14 February 2008.
The User Forum has evolved as an annual key event of the EGEE project since the first forum in May 2006 at CERN, succeeded by the second in May 2007 at Manchester, UK. It provides an important opportunity for members of the EGEE user community and wider grid community to present their work, discuss grid technology use with colleagues, and learn about advances in middleware and application services.
The program consisted of daily plenary sessions featuring distinguished keynote speakers, followed by parallel sessions focusing on grid use within the many user disciplines, and also on specific grid technologies and techniques. Sessions for demonstrations and posters augmented the oral program, and provided a key element of the forum.
