The seventh IDGF tutorial is scheduled for April 14th, 2011 at the EGI User Forum in Vilnius.  Robert Lovas and Ad Emmen will address the topic of  "Desktop Grids for scientific applications". Desktop Grids only function optimally when fully integrated into the (European) e-Infrastructure. Hence, it is important to offer to current EGI users and administrators the possibility to get to know this technology and to meet with experts that could help them.  The workshop will be organised by the International Desktop Grid Federation (IDGF) with support from the EDGI project and provides an important opportunity to further develop the Desktop Grid community inside EGI. More information about the programme is available at http://desktopgridfederation.org/programme7.  Please also note that the EDGI and DEGISCO projects will be very visible at the EGI User Forum in the form of an EDGI demonstration and two presentations, one for each project, on April 14th.  For more info, you can visit the EDGI and  DEGISCO project websites.
