  10. CSIC-User induction • Medical imaging • Several meetings with medical_image-biomed group from IFIC to offer them participation and use on the GRID infrastructure in collaboration with UPV. (Dec-06). • Participation in EU proposal to create applications related to Hadron Therapy Centers. • Astrophysics community (Planck mission) • Meetings with the researchers of CSIC involved in the Planck mission to offer support to migrate their tools to the Grid • Integration of IFCA in the Astrophysics cluster of EGEE • Astronomy Community (XMM analysis) • Meetings with the researchers of CSIC working in the data analysis of the X-Ray astronomy satellite XMM-Newton • Stablishment of agreement together with ESA to introduce them in the Planck VO as a subgroup

  11. CSIC-Organized events • Indirect dissemination activities (Related NA3 events): • ATLAS Distributed Analysis Tutorial. (14 part.). 3-May-2007. • Grids & E-Science IV. (17 part.) 24-Sep-2007. • Grid lectures at CARTIF (Valladolid) (8 part.) 5-Jun-2007. • Remarks: • Most of the participants are not involved with EGEE, so the introductory hours provides them a vision of GRID computing and EGEE in particular.

  12. CSIC-User Forum Events • EGEE User Forum in Geneva (CH) September 2006 • Booth setup at the conference with general information about the grid projects involving CSIC centers • OGF/EGEE User Forum in Manchester (UK) May 2007 • CSIC was Premier Sponsor the User Forum • Booth at the conference displaying general information about the grid projects involving CSIC centers • CSIC Booth at the User Forum in Manchester in May 2007

  13. CSIC-Activities to broad public • 2 Editions (2006 and 2007) of the Week of Science: “Science and computation” at IFCA • Presentations about the meaning of Grid computing and grid infrastructures at general public level • November 2006: over 200 students (between 10 and 16 years old) • November 2007 (ongoing): already inscribed 900 students for 2007. • Remarks (future): this event will be included within • Madrid i+d, major event in SPAIN (april 2008, IFEMA, Madrid). • ESOF (july 2008, Barcelona).

  14. CSIC-Activities to broad public • IFIC is un the Dissemination Program 'VISITAS GUIADAS'of CSIC • 4-5 visits of High School students ( about 25-30 students/visit) every year; • GRID infrastructure and achievements are shown • Virtual travelling to learn e-Science (by Jesus Marco) • Presentation to High School students (~ 60 attendants) • Internal IFIC Colloquium: with Dario Barberis (ATLAS Computing Responsable), January 2008 • Interview to J.Salt for MÈTODE (is a periodic publication addressed to the scientific an university community, edited by Universidad de Valencia).To be published.

  15. CSIC- On line activities Visibility on internet • Web pages (SA1 helpdesk for SW federation: Portugal and Spain): • http://swegus.ific.uv.es • English. • Statistics tool: • http://swegus.ific.uv.es/awstats/aawstats.pl/config=swegus • >+50 Unique visitor/month (excluded SW people means around >+30) • 11 countries with >10 pages visited (exc. SW and related countries) • Wiki pages at IFCA: http://wiki.ifca.es • e-Science wiki pages • Started several months ago not only for EGEE. • Spanish-English.

  16. CSIC in SPAIN • CSIC is precursor member of the Spanish NGI (National Grid Initiative). • CSIC is precursor member for the Spanish network for e-Ciencia, created during last months and related to Grid and Supercomputing. This network involves +100 groups in Spain.

  17. Conclusions • SW Federation contribution: 1.5 FTE • We reach to a large number of interested groups within the potential and de facto grid community. • Dissemination works on two ways: • The oportunities arrive to people: invitations to talks. • The oportunities are created: organizing events • Usually there are more people envolved with NA2. • The potential user community is an specialised community: the dissemination rules should be specialised. • Any event is a good oportunity.
