OGF-Europe (Mobilising & Integrating Communities on Grids, Standards & Best Practices across Europe) is an EU 7FP "e-Infrastructure - Capacity Programme" funded project. It aims to play a key role in influencing the drive towards global standardization efforts and in bringing best practices back into the EU computing environment. It is interacting with diverse organizations across a wide range of domains to help create awareness of distributed computing and of the major benefits it delivers. In particular, it is aligned with OGF's global mission of pervasive Grid adoption through interoperable software standards. Key deliverables of the project include outreach seminars and workshops, adoption challenges and recommendation reports as well as community surveys, best practice reports and tutorials. OGF-Europe also co-ordinates an "Industry Experts" group to better understand how European enterprises are dealing with issues surrounding interoperations and standardisation and to engage them in the core work of OGF.
OGF-Europe gives D4Science a context where project partners can be informed on the evolution of emerging OGF standards. In this context, D4Science partners can also actively participate in the fine-tuning of these standards by reporting the feedback collected through the experience carried out within the project.
OGF-Europe provides D4Science also with several opportunities for networking with other projects and for performing dissemination. In particular, the participation in the Community Outreach Seminars is particularly meaningful for D4Science. These seminars aim to actively gather people from OGF, OGF-Europe and user groups to explore key technology trends and build a consensus around key requirements.
D4Science representatives gave two presentations at the first Community Outreach seminar "Digital Repositories Interoperability Using Grid Technologies" in Barcelona in June 2008.
