Description
A&A was identified as a Heavy User Community (HUC) in EGI. After the startup phase of EGI-InSPIRE, HUCs have been encouraged to organize themselves as VRCs and to subscribe a MoU (Memorandum of Understanding) to be officially endorsed by EGI.
However A&A decided that a single VRC would not reflect its own peculiarities. In fact, A&A is a wide and articulated community with many active sub-communities dealing with specific astronomical research lines and each of these research lines has its own specific requirements and expectations toward DCIs and different ways to approach them.
The aim of this workshop is giving the unique opportunity for A&A community to meet and share experience, problems and successful stories, to present new users, new projects and the work done during the last years.
