EUMed-Grid [Empowering eScience across the Mediterranean]

EUMEDGRID Acceptable Use Policy

EUMEDGRID VO Acceptable Use Policy
1.1. MISSION STATEMENT The EUMEDGRID initiative aims to set up in the Mediterranean a grid infrastructure for Research, which can become part of EGEE and be integrated with analogous initiatives in the Balkans, North Europe, Latin America and Far-East Asia. Another EUMEDGRID's purpose is to raise grid awareness and competences among the researchers operating in the Mediterranean area, to make them able to profit of this new powerful tool, to foster collaboration with European and wordlwide projects and to promote scientific and industrial development in the area. To further EUMEDGRID objectives, EUMEDGRID Virtual Organization is designed to facilitate the development of new regional Grid application and communities, by expediting access to Virtual Organization services and EUMEDGRID resources. 1.2. SCOPE These policies apply to: 1. every member of the EUMEDGRID Virtual Organization; 2. all resources accessible to the EUMEDGRID VO; 3. the use of all software and data available to the EUMEDGRID VO. 1.3. POLICY EUMEDGRID VO Users: 1. Shall use EUMEDGRID resources for only the purpose as described in your approved EUMEDGRID application/community registration. EUMEDGRID resources are not provided for any other purposes. 2. Shall only use the GRID to perform work, or transmit or store data consistent with the stated goals and policies of the VO of which you are a member and in compliance with these conditions of use. 3.
