The First EGEE Industry Day Paris, France

If you are interested in working with EGEE or deploying an industrial application on EGEE, REGISTER online at to attend the first Industry Day, 27 April 2006 in Paris, at the LPHNE (Laboratoire de Physique Nucleaire et des Hautes Energies)

During the first phase of EGEE , key applications were deployed in scientific fields, such as High Energy Physics, life sciences and earth observation, that have paved the way for application deployment in the Industrial sector and increased links with Industry.

The EGEE Industry Day, taking place in Paris will be a first of a kind event for the EGEE Project for Industry to interact directly with the EGEE project and will bring together decision makers, research heads, policy makers & CTOs to learn how industrial applications can be deployed on EGEE.

The event will highlight where grid computing can create new industrial solutions and how organizations can benefit from sophisticated computing resources of grid, not available in traditional IT infrastructures. Interactive discussions will provide an opportunity to get an industry perspective and discover how to EGEE can work towards a commercial grid.

If you are interested in working with EGEE or deploying an industrial application on EGEE, REGISTER online at to attend the first Industry Day, 27 April 2006 in Paris, at the LPHNE (Laboratoire de Physique Nucleaire et des Hautes Energies),  located in the centre of Paris, near the river Seine and the famous “Quartier Latin”. The event is free of charge but registration is required due to the limited amount of space.

Enabling Grids for E-sciencE (EGEE) is the largest multi-disciplinary grid infrastructure in the world. Finding the Higgs boson; saving lives; addressing the energy problem; feeding the planet - the grid is swiftly becoming one of the extraordinary tools scientists use everyday. This month sees the start of the third phase of the project, EGEE-III, which is revolutionising the way data is analysed, stored and shared.
