Date/Time: from Monday, 26 April 2004 (09:00) to Wednesday, 28 April 2004 (16:00) (Europe/Zurich)
Location: NeSC
Chairperson: John Murison
Description: 
This is the first EGEE induction event, held at NeSC, Edinburgh. It is for members of the EGEE project.
Goals:
1.	to induct EGEE trainers 
2.	to refine modules of the induction courses
3.	to begin induction of EGEE members 
Outcomes:
1.	Trainers will be able to present these modules. 
2.	Modules for future induction courses will be in near-final form.
3.	EGEE members will be oriented to the EGEE project structure and procedures.
4.	EGEE members without prior Grid experience will be oriented to the EGEE infrastructure.
Prerequisites: 
Some familiarity with UNIX will be helpful for practicals.
No experience of Grids is assumed.
In advance of the course all participants needed to follow instructions that were emailed to them and also placed on an NeSC web page, to ensure that they:
1.	Obtain and bring a security certificate from the GILDA.testbed.
 This needed to be done 3-5 working days before the course as administrators need to respond to each request. Certificates last for 2 weeks and are usable after the course.
2.	Subscribe to GILDA VO.
