Virtual Organizations
Main Actors in the EGI
Users of the European Grid Infrastructure are organised into Virtual Organisations (VO). A VO is a group of people who share similar interests, have similar goals, and need to work collaboratively sharing resources (e.g. data, software, expertise, CPU, storage space) regardless of their geographical location. There are already more than 200 VOs hosted on EGI. Users are invited to join these VOs, or establish new ones for their own communities.
Getting account in VO
Please choose a VO in which you want to get an account from the list of VO below.
NOTE for Czech users: If you are a potential Czech VOCE user you might be already a member of MetaCentrum VO. In this case you do not use the VOCE form mentioned above but please edit your personal settings at the MetaCentrum portal (section My account/Personal Information). If you are currently not a MetaCentrum member, please consider that if you decide to become a METACentrum member you obtain an access to Czech local computational resources in addition to VOCE resources you ask for, therefore we recommend you to become a MetaCentrum member. Filling the MetaCentrum aplication form will allow you to utilize MetaCentrum capacities as well as available VOCE computational resources.
