Survey of Communities  

This assessment questionnaire should be filled by communities or individuals looking at potentially becoming an EELA collaborator or member.
Besides providing the relevant community information, it aims at gathering inputs on the adoption of distributed and grid computing technologies for e-Science, especially in Latin America. Moreover, it will be an important tool for future deployment of sustainable infrastructures.
Interested communities are invited to contact both the EELA Management: teb@eu-eela.org and the EELA Work Package 4 Managers: claudio.cherubino@ct.infn.it, leandro.ciuffo@ct.infn.it
