The School offers a rare opportunity to hear about the latest achievements from Europe, North America and Asia, and to experience a variety of Grid systems, including practical exercises and tutorials.

The Summer School will provide an in-depth introduction to Grid technologies that underpin e-infrastructure and Cyberinfrastructure. It will present a conceptual framework to enhance each student's ability to work in this rapidly advancing field. Reports from world leaders in deploying and exploiting Grids will complement lectures from research leaders shaping future e-infrastructure.

According to Malcolm Atkinson, Programme Chair of the School, the Summer School is always a ferment of enthusiasm with the goal of building a lasting network of well-informed graduates.

Graduates of the school will be familiar with the fundamental components of Grid environments, such as authentication, authorisation, resource discovery, resource access; be able to use Grid environments for basic and advanced job submission, and distributed data management; be conversant with Grid achievements worldwide; be alert to emerging grid applications; appreciate the potential of e-infrastructure and be aware of new research opportunities.

Applications are welcome from enthusiastic and ambitious researchers who have started or are about to start working on Grid projects. Students may come from any country providing they are comfortable using spoken English.
