NA3 objectives in EGEE-III
Activity objectives– Expand and refine the training material and courses, to provide training
resources for an ever-widening range of Grid applications.– Train a wide variety of users, within EGEE consortium & outside users
of other middleware.– Develop mechanisms for passing on knowledge to end-users of EGEE
related projects.– Expand online learning services, meeting the needs of an expanded
project and larger user-base. – Support the provision of t-Infrastructure on the GILDA testbed by
developing/maintaining training resources to cover diverse range of application scenarios.
Priorities in 2nd year• Scalability and sustainability
– Autonomous national training groups established at every NGI– Integration of t-Infrastructure into production infrastructure– Continuation of training services in EGI is ensured

Services for sustainable training
• Accreditation of trainers– All the 21 NA3 partner NGIs are self-sufficient in terms of training – Training contact for 72% of all the NGIs
• GILDA VO is now part of the production infrastructure– No difference in the maintenance of a production and a training
site– NGIs can contribute to training VO with production sites
• Training support services continue in EGI– Trainer registry: http://www.iceage-eu.org/learnerRegistry– Digital library: http://library.nesc.ed.ac.uk:8080/egee – Training event database: http://www.egee.nesc.ac.uk/schedreg – Training VO central services: https://gilda.ct.infn.it

Development of EGEE trainers
• Training the trainers events– Provide partner autonomy – Experts ensure quality of message
• Trainer accreditation Peer approval Details of training experience
– Currently 134 trainers

Issues to resolve in EGI
• Not all the NGIs have accredited trainers– Are these countries self-sufficient in terms of training?
• Keeping trainer registry up to date– Not all the accredited trainers are in the people registry– How and when to modify/remove a trainer registration?
• Maintenance of content in Digital library
• Keeping the critical number of sites in the training VO– How to accept short-lived training certificates issued by different NGIs?
• Virtual Research Community proposals not funded but scientific communities need specialised training– Improve cooperation between NGI training groups and scientific groups
