Outreach to New EGI Communities through Virtual Teams (VTs)

Description

In 2011 the EGI-InSPIRE project revised its user engagement activities. The purpose of the restructuring was to improve the efficiency and flexibility of the interaction between the NGIs, EGI.eu and other organisations to achieve common goals in the field of "Engaging with New User Communities". The new user community engagement activity brings together individuals from NGIs and EGI.eu to carry out focussed, short term activities that directly or indirectly relate to engagement with new users. The session provides an overview of the new structure and of the first set of focused projects that have been setup.
