EGEE Users Forum CERN, Geneva March 1, 2 and 3, 2006 EGEE Users Forum The EGEE (Enabling Grids for E-sciencE) project provides the largest production grid infrastructure for applications. In the first two years of the project, an increasing numbers of diverse users communities have been attracted by the possibilities offered by EGEE and have joined the initial, core user communities. At this point in time the EGEE user community feels it is appropriate to meet to share their experience and to set new targets for the future, including the evolution of the existing applications and the development and deployment of new applications to the EGEE infrastructure. The EGEE Users Forum provides an important opportunity for innovative applications to establish contacts to EGEE and between users, to plan for the future usage of the EGEE grid infrastructure, to learn about the latest advances, and to discuss the future evolution in the grid middleware. The main goal is to create a dynamic user community starting from the base of existing users which can increase the effectiveness of the current EGEE applications and promote the fast and efficient uptake of grid technology by new disciplines. EGEE fosters pioneering usage of it’s infrastructure by encouraging collaboration between diverse scientific disciplines. It does this to evolve and to expand the services offered to the EGEE user community, maximising the scientific, technological and economical relevance of grid-based activities. Please note that the text describing the event is just a draft. Note also that the first day (1st of March) will be dedicated to NA4-focused working groups (parallel session), while more general discussion (across other areas in EGEE) will take place Thursday and Friday (2nd and 3rd of March).
