2. History of the course This is the 7th edition of the course
2009: IFCA (Santander)
2008: IFIC (Valencia)
: IFCA
2005 :IFIC
2004: IFCA
Official post-graduate course of CSIC:
Organized by the Group of “E-Science and Grid Computing for physics at IFIC”
4 staff members and 8 contracted people
We have been working since `2001 with distributed and grid-computing technologies
DataGrid, Crossgrid, EGEE I, II and III. Currently within European Grid Initiative (EGI)
To support the Computing of HEP communitities, ATLAS specially. Currently to a wider e-Science Community:

3. Objectives of the course
The course is aimed at students and researchers who want to run applications in the GRID-CSIC, and within international initiatives EGI (European Grid Initiative), and national e-Science.
You will learn basic skills to use the grid, tools and known advanced applications.
Will be discussed in detail the various components, user-level middleware, and sample applications, and use of grid infrastructure at international level and in production environments.
Practice in a real environment can also show the tools available, frequent errors and possible solutions.

8. Technical Session (Thursday)
The Idea is to have a Forum where to present and talk about ideas (and a kind of round table)
You can present some slides with your works ( 10 minutes slot ). Ask me for a slot
Or you can just raise questions that have not been clear in the talks or practice sessions.
Also things that would like to see in the future or that could be improved
We will finish the afternoon with a visit to the IFIC Computing Centre.

9. We Invite you to a Dinner on Thursday night at the Valencia Beach:
