DESCRIPTION:The EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-sciencE) project provides the w
 orld’s largest production Grid infrastructure as well as user support se
 rvices for an increasing number of diverse user communities. The EGEE User
  Forums are strategic events for the project and a key opportunity for par
 ticipants to interact with other initiatives and communities. \n\nThe seco
 nd User Forum 9-11 May 2007 will take place in Manchester\, UK in conjunct
 ion with OGF20. This combined event will further strengthen the links betw
 een EGEE and the Open Grid Forum\, bringing users and standards bodies tog
 ether to ensure that the future of the Grid is complemented by the establi
 shment of key standards. \n\nEGEE continues to foster innovative use of it
 s infrastructure and technology by encouraging collaboration between diver
 se scientific disciplines. The vision is to evolve and to expand the servi
 ces offered to the EGEE user community\, maximising the scientific\, techn
 ological and economical relevance of Grid-based activities.\n\nThe EGEE Us
 er Forum provides opportunities for discussions between users and Grid ser
 vice providers\, as well as the chance to interactively demonstrate the st
 atus of prototypes and of the applications already in production. Particip
 ants will be able to establish contact with EGEE and with its user communi
 ties\, to explore possible cooperation between academic users and business
  partners\, to contribute to plans for the future usage of the EGEE Grid i
 nfrastructure\, and to discuss the evolution of gLite\, the EGEE Grid midd
 leware.\n\nAs for the first User Forum\, EGEE invites abstracts to be subm
