German e-Science Conference 2007

GES2007

The German national e-Science framework is the national initiative to enable Grid computing, knowledge networking, e-Learning and open access in all science domains. The aim of the framework - funded by the German ministry for education and research (BMBF) - is to provide coordination and collaboration between different research areas which are involved and interested in e-Science.

 

The "German e-Science Conference 2007" (GES2007) - organised by Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft, Max-Planck-Gesellschaft and German Rectors' Conference (HRK) - is the first event to demonstrate the results from four e-Science areas: Grid computing, knowledge networking, e-Learning and open access. The conference will be the forum for the partners of the German e-Science community to present their results by talks, by posters and by demos, for the international e-Science community to get an overview of the progress of e-Science in Germany and for potential new users of the German e-Science infrastructure to meet the experts in the field of e-Science.

 

The conference will cover four areas of e-Science:

  • Grid computing
  • Knowledge networking
  • e-Learning
  • open access

 

The GES2007 will be held from 2nd-4th of May 2007 in the city of Baden-Baden. Baden-Baden is located in the Black Forest in the southwest of Germany. It has good connections with trains and airports.
