The Second EELA Grid School (EGRIS-2) builds on the successful experience of the previous edition and aims to create the necessary environment in Latin America for the porting of new applications to the EELA Grid Infrastructure. To fulfil this goal, the EGRIS-2 programme, based both on lectures and hands-on practices, will cover in-depth the main topics of Grid technology, as well as the EGEE/EELA middleware technicalities.
The target audience will consist of researchers both from EELA and non-EELA partners, technical industries, research laboratories, and academic universes. In order to maximize the didactic impact and effectiveness, the number of applications to be ported will be limited to 8-10.
All application candidatures must be submitted to the Selection Board of the School by a group of at most four persons before the 15th of June 2007. Only one application per team can be submitted. Each application team should fill the questionnaire available on the web at the URL http://www.eu-eela.org/eela_application_questionnaire.php, describing the application they want to port on the EELA e-Infrastructure. In the space for comments at the end of the questionnaire the sentence "Application for EGRIS-2" must be put otherwise the questionnaire will not be considered for the school. In addition, at least one recommendation letter per application should be provided and sent to egris2@eu-eela.org. The Selection Board will rank both applications and persons for the final approval made by the EELA Technical Executive Board.
Only candidates who have followed at least one of the previous EELA Tutorials or an official training event of any other accredited Grid Projects will be considered for selection. However, candidates who can demonstrate notorious knowledge in the field will also be considered.
Accepted candidates will be notified by the 24th of June 2007 and invited to fill the registration form to participate to the school.
