This year's conference, from June 29th until July 1st in Berlin, will focus on how business models and practical applications may be developed from the experiences gained with pilot projects in Grid technology so far. Participants will see presentations on key technologies, Grid applications, socio-economic aspects and the future of Grid technology in medicine. There will also be discussions on the use of Grids in the public health sector. Going beyond the aspects of large-scale use of distributed computing capacities, the conference also addresses the collaborative use of applications and cooperation of researchers from biosciences and medicine working at different places far away from each other.

About HealthGrid
HealthGrid is an initiative that gathers means and people from different backgrounds wanting to reach one goal: to reinforce and to promote awareness of the possibilities and advantages linked to the deployment of Grid technologies in the biomedical sector.
The concept of HealthGrid is to develop a strong relationship with clinicians and researchers to gain feedback in integration of grid use into health and apply them in the biomedical, medical and biological domains.
