Description

The purpose of this two-part session is to present and discuss the role of the VRC in the EGI era. EGI defines the VRC as a "self-organising group that collects and represents the interests of a focussed collection of researchers across a clear and well-defined field". During the first half a number of presentations will be made on behalf of communities that could become VRCs. During the second half the working relationship between VRCs and EGI wil be discussed and refined.
