EGEE-II: ITF
Industry Task Force

The EGEE-II Industrial Task Force (ITF) brings together the industrial partners of EGEE-II and related projects with industry/business focus assisting them in becoming EGEE-II industry/business success stories.

The ITF aims to:

-          Support the selected industrial/business applications by establishing direct support channel within EGEE-II;

-          Interact with EGEE-II Technical Coordination Group (TCG) to place industry requirements on equal footing with scientific applications;

-          Interact with EGEE-II Industry Forum and Cern openlab to improve the uptake of EGEE-II in industry.

ITF initial membership

The ITF is  composed with representatives from EGEE-II industrial partners and representatives from the supported applications.

The ITF is managed by a board composed with EGEE-II industrial partners.
