IWSGC'10 will consist of several live online events and asynchronous work in between. In order to successfully complete the Winter School, participants are obliged to attend at least 3 live events in their full duration.

There will be no tutoring during week Monday 15 - Friday 19 March (between weeks 2 and 3) due to the Open Grid Forum. Students should use this time to catch up with previous weeks work, or for a short break.
