GridKa School, the regional school of the German/Swiss federation (DECH), has been attracting students from all over Europe and beyond for years. It is a one-week summer school for grid computing and e-Science; this year's focus is on "middleware, applications and techniques". The school is arranged by the Steinbuch Centre for Computing (SCC) of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT, the cooperation of Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe GmbH and Universitaet Karlsruhe), together with the project "Enabling Grids for E-Science'" (EGEE), the project "Sustainable Grid Infrastructure" (SuGI, which is part of the D-Grid initiative), and the the HGF Alliance "Physics at the Terascale". Topics of the school are taken from the scopes of these projects and beyond.

About 50% of the school consist of hands-on tutorials and workshops, giving participants the possibility to gain actual expertise on different kinds of middleware, applications and techniques. Because these tutorials are offered in parallel tracks, GridKa school practicals cover topics well suited for beginners, experienced users and grid administrators. The high grade talks and presentations give an up-to-date overview on important and interesting grid subjects.
