---++The objectives of the school:
   * Training of students and institute/university staff members to the grid technology.
   * Training of system administrators to the installation and maintenance of the EGEE grid services 
   * Setting up of a number of grid services on local computers to launch kick-off or seed grid nodes.
   * Training of students to the use of simulation and data analysis tools to be deployed in a grid environment.

Based on Tien2/3 (Trans-Eurasia Information Network, http://www.tein2.net and http://www.tein3.net) which provides direct connectivity to Europe's GÉANT2 network, the ACGRID school promotes the setting up of collaborations between research groups in Europe and Asia using grids as the environment to share resources, tools and expertise in all fields of science and, in particular, life sciences and particle physics. 

Tien2/3 is implemented by DANTE (Delivery of Advanced Network Technology to Europe) which provides the data communications infrastructure essential to the development of the global research community.

---++ Reaching these goals

   * During the preparation of the school, teams of researchers in developing Asian countries which could benefit from the grid to break their isolation and achieve an easier integration in the international research community are identified.
   * Hands-on requiring the installation of local grid nodes, it gives the opportunity to train local system administrators to install and operate grid services.
   * The trainees will receive an education at the highest international level on grid research and technology and learn how to use tools deployed on grids for simulation and data analysis. 
   * The trainees will leave the school with almost ready to use "gridified" applications which they will be able to deploy either on the local grid  or on the grid infrastructure already deployed in Europe and in several Asian countries.
 
---++ Programme of the school

The research communities primarily targeted are High Energy Physics and Biomedical sciences, but the programme is also relevant for other research areas such as computational chemistry, material science, climate and environmental science, disaster prediction, etc.

The programme will include a tutorial on the EGEE grid and the presentation of simulation and analysis tools which take fully advantage of the grid, for instance Geant4 in physics or Taverna in bioinformatics.

Specific application proposed by the trainees will be adapted to the grid with the support of the grid experts.

A special session will be dedicated to a symposium where a variety of speakers (Gov. Officials, industry leader, GRID expert and scientists involved in major GRID applications) will be invited. This symposium gives a larger visibility to the school and open the School scope. 

---++ School Format
a School session is a one week long training:
   * 1 day to finish the installation with the local system managers of the GRID tools. (most of the installation will have been done remotely with the help of the local system managers)
   * 3+1/2 days Student training
   * 1/2 day Symposium

We are discussing the possibility to broadcast the various sessions to other institutes or universities in the Asian Countries. The [[http://www.canalavist.org/][CanalAvist]] is a part of the ASEAN Virtual Institute of Science and Technology (AVIST) and the ASEAN Science and Technology Research and Education Network Alliance (ASTRENA) under ASEAN Committee for Science and Technology to provide channels for seamless education, teaching, training, conferencing, lectures, talks through ASEAN countries for ASEAN researchers and students.

---++ Participation
Participation is welcome from all Asian countries. The expected attendees are as follows:
   * System administrators to learn on the installation and maintenance of grid nodes.
   * Scientists and students with interest to use the services offered by grids and the analysis tools deployed on grids.

Trainees will be registered through the school web site.

   * Title: Advanced Computing and GRID technologies for Research (AC&GRID)
   * Date: November 5- November 16
   * Duration: 2 weeks + one week for the preparation of the GRID node in IoIT (VAST)
   * Venue: IoIT VAST Hanoi (Vietnam)

---++ Summary

This school is organized by the French CNRS (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique), the VAST (Vietnan Academy of  Science and Technology), and other participating country organizations. 

It is held under the sponsorship of the French Embassies in Asia, the &#65533;Réseau STIC-ASIE: a French cooperation program developing ICT cooperation in Asia supported by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, CNRS/DREI-DSI(?), INRIA (?),&#65533;.

Basic research relies nowadays on the most advanced technologies and the actual contribution to the progress of science is strongly linked to the technological expertise of the scientific staff. Technological training and teaching of practical skills is therefore mandatory in the researchers&#65533; curriculum. 

The school addresses one of the most important technologies needed to undertake any modern research activities, namely: 
Advanced Computing Technologies and the GRID for Scientific Research.
HEP (High Energy Physics) that is both a strong consumer and developer of computing technologies (WEB, GRID, Symbolic languages, data analysis,...) together with ICT will join to provide a broad and high quality teaching programme.
 
Basic research has become international. Most of the major programs whether in a competitive or a cooperative manner are developed in this global framework. The school is therefore open to student and researchers from any participating Asian countries. The lectures will be given by French and Asian computing science experts deeply involved in basic research. 
As the school will gather researchers from various fields and various skills, it will give a unique opportunity to initiate and foster collaborations with or between Asian countries on the current and coming major global research projects in: nuclear, high-energy physics and astrophysics, genomics and medical sciences, material sciences and nanotechnologies, earth sciences, climate evolution and disaster prediction, &#65533;

As a follow-up, fellowships may be awarded by the participating countries to students joining international collaborations.

This school invites other computing related organizations and companies to sponsor this event. An exhibition can also be organized offering a unique showroom for the products, technologies or achievements of the participants and sponsors.
---++ Programme
The final programme will be set up by the International organizing committee yet to be formed. Here follows some suggestions:

   1 Fist Day will be the  inaugural day: This kick-off start day will include: keynote talks, national policy and project talks, company talks, VIP meetings, Cocktail 
   2 An product showroom can be organized to allow leading computing related companies in Vietnam, France and other Asian countries to show and demonstrate their products. They will also sponsor the school.
