Description
Description:
The 2nd EGI Policy Workshop serves as the next step forward, and a main priority of the coming year, in reinforcing the connection with the National Grid Initiatives (NGIs) and European Intergovernmental Research Organisations (EIROs) participating in EGI. The aim is to facilitate EGI-to-NGI and NGI-to-NGI policy development interactions and offer an opportunity to exchange best practices. This workshop leverages the first EGI Policy Workshop organised at the EGI User Forum in April 2011 to continue the flow of ideas on key policy issues, obtain updates from the NGIs on sustainability and agree on the main policy priorities in the short- and medium-term future.
As the first workshop offered an opportunity to inform the community of the current landscape through highlighted year one achievements and a produced survey analysis report, the next logical step is to delve into specific subject matters. Therefore, the structure of this second workshop is focused around presenting year two objectives, identifying priorities and allowing the NGIs and EIROs to voice their ideas, concerns and suggestions for what, where and how policy related issues should transform. An open forum with a panel to steer discussions will allow for an interactive session.
Overall, this session is to directly engage the community to ensure that EGI collectively evolves in the right direction regarding national and transnational policy matters underlining the importance of these activities and why it is essential for community involvement in this area. The target audience is policy makers from EGI participants and external partners; nevertheless, anyone with genuine interest in policy matters for e-Infrastructures is welcome.
