3. Catania, Grid Open Day, 13.12.2006 3 The Objectives of the Project Create a Virtual Laboratory in Sicily, both for scientific and industrial applications, built on top of a grid infrastructure Connect the Sicilian e-Infrastructure to those already existing in Italy, in Europe, and in the rest of the world improving the scientific collaboration and increasing the “competitiveness” of e-Science and e-Industry “made in Sicily” Disseminate the “grid paradigm” through the organization of dedicated events (like this one!) and training courses Trigger/foster the creation of spin-offs in the ICT area in order to reduce the “brain drain” of brilliant young people to other parts of Italy and beyond

34. Catania, Grid Open Day, 13.12.2006 34 Collaborations with other Projects A Memorandum of Understanding has been finalized among TriGrid VL, CYBERSAR, and PI2S2 COMETA, INAF and ALICE are “guest” Virtual Organizations authorized on the TriGrid VL e- Infrastructure This means that COMETA applications can run on the TriGrid infrastructure NOW !

35. Catania, Grid Open Day, 13.12.2006 35 Summary and Conclusions TriGrid VL is the first grid project at a true regional level in Italy After one year from the beginning (and one year before the end) the e-Infrastructure of TriGrid is now a reality and the big portfolio of application is going to be deployed on it We are open to accept/support new users/applications and we strongly hope that this meeting will be very useful in this respect
