Description

EGI is a partnership between National Grid Initiatives (NGIs) and a coordinating body, named EGI.eu to operate a sustainable, pan-European Grid infrastructure for international scientific communities. NGIs are national legal entities charged with taking care of grid infrastructure related matters in their own countries. One of the objectives of EGI and particularly of members of the EGI-InSPIRE project is to expand access to the services of the European Grid Infrastructure to new user communities including new potential heavy users of the infrastructure from the ESFRI projects. EGI.eu aims to facilitate this process by developing an “EGI Roadshow” event model for NGIs. An EGI Roadshow event consists of presentations and optional demos or hands on sessions. The presentations introduce the goals, structure and services of EGI, while the demos and hands-on sessions demonstrate some of these services in practice for the sudience. The EGI Roadshow model not only provides ready-to-use content for NGI dissemination and training teams, but also includes instructions and best practices on how and which communities should NGIs invite for roadshow events. The model is customisable for local needs of the NGI and the audience. The session will present the roadshow model for NGIs and NGI representatives who attend the session are expected to organise and deliver events within their own countries from October. The Roadshow model is currently under development by the EGI Training Working Group and the User Community Support Team of EGI.eu. During the 90 minutes long session the elements of the model will be presented by the members of the EGI Training Working Group and presentations will be given by a sample of partners who have used this or similar models in the past. The session aims to be a “Training the trainers” type of event, where representatives from NGIs can learn how to organise and run EGI information events within their regions. Attendees will also have the opportunity to provide feedback on the model. If you would like to participate in the development of the EGI Roadshow model and/or if you would like to give a presentation in this session, please email ucst@egi.eu before the 22th of August.
