Workshop on e-Infrastructures

On May 13 2005 an open workshop of the eInfrastructures policy initiative was held in Amsterdam. The e-Infrastructures Workshop consisted of a plenary meeting (to set the context for the whole workshop), a real workshop part (where subjects were discussed in more depth in smaller groups) and a final plenary (where the results from the parallel sessions are summarised). Workshop sessions were chaired by a.o. Kees Neggers (SURFnet), Gigi Karmous-Edwards (MCNC), Hans Doebbeling (DANTE), Dany Vandromme (Renater), Frank Harris (CERN), Manuel Delfino (PIC), Kees Stuurman (UvT), Berend Smit (CECAM) and John Gordon (CCLRC).

The presentations and the outcomes of the sessions can be viewed in various formats (Open Office, PDF, Flash, MS Powerpoint) by clicking on the names of the session chairs in the program below. You can also zip download all presentations in PDF in a single file.
