Metrics of dissemination activities Fullfilment after 1st year The BalticGrid-II 2nd AHM, Riga, 12th May 2009
Conclusions • The months 7-12 involved many dissemination activities • What we achieved: • we were present and visible at several grid events (e.g. ICT’08, EGEE UF in Catania) – thanks to the NA2 team and other members of BG-II • many presentations on BG-II were given and many scientific papers were published • several interviews were recorded and presented on Gridcast web site • BG-II members gave also a few radio interviews and participated in several TV programs devoted to IT / Grid / BG-II matters • several types of disseminative materials were prepared and distributed (or presented) at grid events and internally • a press conference was organized in Minsk (in March 2009) to cover the state and the prospects of grid andsupercomputer technologies in Belarus and abroad • What is needed: • more seminars (especially in Belarus) and tutorials would be welcome • the same effort from all Partners and ALs during the 2nd year of the Project The BalticGrid-II 2nd AHM, Riga, 12th May 2009
