EGEE-II INFSO-RI-031688 NA2 Partner Review, 27-28 November 2007, Prague 28 Targeted Dissemination for Industry Enabling Grids for E-sciencE ¾ Local strategy – Announcements on local EGEE-II, CyGrid, HPCL news portals – CCtSitCyprus Computer Society – CyGrid partners – Mailing lists
¾ Local approach – Maintenance of tables with events international and local for invitations to participate to local organisations – Events covering different sectors organised by UCY usually have a dissemination stand with EGEE materials – News releases are sent to the University’s PR office. As a note, the PR office sends every article to the Cyprus PIO which distributes the articles received to 6 local newspapers (Greek 4; English 2); disseminates to all media (other publications 25); TV channels (6) and Radio stations (10) Local University magazine is distributed to Higher Education, Research institutions, and Alumni (7000)

EGEE-II INFSO-RI-031688 NA2 Partner Review, 27-28 November 2007, Prague 30 Issues/Conclusions Enabling Grids for E-sciencE ‘Cyprus, a small community’ The outreach is slow but sure Ä learning curve of Grid technology
Concerns:
– Low rate of local participants to organised events – Same participants in many of the cases (Training) – Too much dissemination = spam!
Conclusions in EGEE Dissemination & Outreach ¾ EGEE Dissemination has been a fundamental CORE activity for the Cyprus scientific Community ¾ Too many activities: need local NA2 effort for promotion and recompilation

EGEE-II INFSO-RI-031688 NA2 Partner Review, 27-28 November 2007, Prague 33 NA2 in EGEEIII Enabling Grids for E-sciencE
Our Issue: No funded NA2 for UCY
Looking towards EGEEIII:
¾ NA2 It is not about one country per linguistic area … to translate material?!! ¾ in Cyprus, a bilingual country, Greek translated material is only used for Governmental dissemination
¾ EGEE requires local Dissemination & Outreach in small countries too
