 The Context
At European level, e-Infrastructure has been identified as a key element of the construction
of the European Research Area (ERA) so as to stimulate industry, improve the lives of
citizens, accelerate research and gain international competitive advantage. For Europe to
realise this expectation, there needs to be a diverse, knowledgeable and creative community
to skilfully exploit e-Infrastructure.
The Objectives of ICEAGE
Good education in rapidly advancing scientific domains is particularly labour intensive.
It must draw on the expertise of a small community of pioneers. A major objective of ICEAGE
is to provide an effective mechanism for distilling their knowledge and rapidly propagating it
across Europe.
ICEAGE aims to catalyse the necessary infrastructure and skills by establishing a worldwide
initiative to inspire innovative and effective Grid Education. Grid Education implies the use of
education in the Grid, but also the use of the Grid in education. We use the term "Grid" in a
broad sense to include computing and communications technology, working practices and policies
that underpin e-Infrastructure.

ISSGC'08
International Summer School
on Grid Computing 2008
The School will be held in Hungary from 6th to 18th July 2008.
This is a rare opportunity to hear about the latest achievements from Europe,
North America and Asia, as well as to gain experience of a variety of Grid systems.
The School will boost students’ capabilities for research and innovation
thanks to lectures, discussions, laboratory sessions, tutorials and group work.
These activities will be delivered by leading authorities in the fields of advanced
grid technology, applications of e-Science and distributed systems research.
Please visit www.issgc.org for more details.
