Collaboration
NA2 collaborates with:EGEE-III active participation in the EGEE User Forum in Catania, Italy, in March 2 - 6,
2009 with a Project stand, two demos, two posters and a talk, the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the BalticGrid-II and
EGEE project was signed by Ake Edlund and Bob Jones (the EGEE Project Director) on 4th March 2009, in Catania, Italy, during EGEE UF/OGF25– This document details how BalticGrid-II will interact with EGEE on an
infrastructure and application level as the European grid community moves towards the European Grid Initiative.
BELIEF-II the Memorandum of Usage (MoU) was signed with this project in October
2008, the BG-II materials are uploaded to the BELIEF-II Digital Library, the BG-II disseminative materials were presented at the common booth
maintained by BELIEF-II during the ICT in Lyon, in November 2008.

Collaboration
BG-II also collaborates with:UNICORE In March 2009 the BG-II PD Ake Edlund signed the MoU with UNICORE.
The document defines the ways of cooperation between the two projects, in line with the interoperability tasks w r t UNICORE.
Nordugrid On 7 April 2009 the BG-II PD Ake Edlund signed the MoU with Nordugrid
project. The document defines the frames of cooperation between the two projects, in line with the interoperability tasks w r t ARC.

25The BalticGrid-II 2nd AHM, Riga, 12th May 2009
ConclusionsThe months 7-12 involved many dissemination activitiesWhat we achieved: we were present and visible at several grid events (e.g. ICT’08, EGEE UF in
Catania) – thanks to the NA2 team and other members of BG-II many presentations on BG-II were given and many scientific papers were
published several interviews were recorded and presented on Gridcast web site BG-II members gave also a few radio interviews and participated in several TV
programs devoted to IT / Grid / BG-II matters several types of disseminative materials were prepared and distributed (or
presented) at grid events and internally a press conference was organized in Minsk (in March 2009) to cover the state
and the prospects of grid and supercomputer technologies in Belarus and abroad
What is needed: more seminars (especially in Belarus) and tutorials would be welcome the same effort from all Partners and ALs during the 2nd year of the Project
