Strategy workshop

On November 9-10 NDGF will host a strategy workshop.

The aim is to identify Nordic eScience areas that could benefit from inter-Nordic collaboration.

The NDGF strategy workshop, aims at consolidation of Nordic research collaborations and their e-Science aspects into Nordic Virtual Research Communities (VRC), like that of the Nordic CERN VRC. The creation, facilitation and servicing of Nordic VRC’s has gradually become NDGF’s core subject matter, and the ability to successfully service a carefully selected number of VRC’s, is considered a primary success criteria for the new NDGF.

Venue

Hilton meetings, Kastrup airport, Terminal 3, 4th floor.

Participation is free of charge, but travel costs and hotel is at participants own expense.
