2. ACTIVITY REPORT
2.1. User Support achievements
The UK held a very successful Summer School for 30 early career researchers. Its a week long residential school aimed at increasing awareness around the variety of einfrastructures available to today's researchers. Topics covered included HPC, grid computing, cloud computing, software, data and data curation. It was a very hands on course with lots of practical exercises. Feedback from the attendees was excellent.
