  3. Why is this necessary? • Changing times… • Transition from EGEE to EGI will impact the coordination role of CERN/IT • IT has been involved in ~10 concurrent EC projects over the last 6 years: this will continue even if total manpower/funds engaged decreases • EGEE project office and collaborating project liaison office will disappear at the end of EGEE-III (April 2010) • PO and CPLO have helped manage IT department’s participation in EC projects • Effort is funded by a fraction of the funds received via the EC projects Bob Jones

  4. What will it do? • Centralise information so IT department’s management to make informed decisions • Ensure our engagement contributes to IT’s programme of work and priorities for WLCG • Identify synergies between projects • Represent IT in the management structures of EC projects • Coordinate IT’s liaison with other departments at CERN for EC-related activities • CERN’s EU office (DG-EU) for CERN-wide coordination • DG-RPC-EUT for project budget preparation, tracking and payments • Human resources advisor (HRA) for personnel • DG-LS and DG-KTT for legal matters • Liaise with other EIROFORUM labs for matters related to IT department’s activities • Liaise with EC and report to IT management on future funding directions and opportunities • Archive essential material from completed projects Bob Jones
