Introduction

A weekly newsletter promoting grid computing, iSGTW shares stories of grid-empowered research, scientific discoveries, and grid technology from around the world.

The iSGTW weekly e-newsletter is emailed free to subscribers and is also available via RSS.

iSGTW is jointly funded by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science and the National Science Foundation, through the Open Science Grid, and by the European Commission’s Information Society and Media Directorate-General, through GridTalk. EGEE, TeraGrid, OSG and GridPP are involved in iSGTW through the provision of contributing editors.

Participating Projects

	The Enabling Grids for E-sciencE project brings together scientists and engineers from more than 90 institutions in 32 countries worldwide to provide a seamless grid infrastructure for e-Science. EGEE integrates applications from many scientific fields, ranging from geology and biology to computational chemistry and high-energy physics.
	The Open Science Grid enables scientific research by bringing multidisciplinary collaborations together with the latest advances in distributed computing technologies. The OSG, a U.S. grid computing project with international partners, is used for scientific research in many fields, including bioinformatics, nanotechnology and physics.
	GridPP manages and operates the UK particle physics grid, which is the UK's contribution to the LCG. It is a collaboration of 20 universities and research institutes, funded by the Science and Technology Facilities Council.
	The TeraGrid, sponsored by the U.S National Science Foundation’s Office of Cyberinfrastructure, is a partnership of people and resources enabling discovery in U.S. science and engineering research to connect and broaden scientific communities.

History

iSGTW launched on 16 November 2006 as an evolution of Science Grid This Week, which was first published in April 2005 and was funded by the National Science Foundation and U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science.
