The impact of grid computing has rapidly expanded beyond that which can be disseminated by individual projects. To better showcase the achievements of grid computing projects, the GridTalk project is telling the success stories of Europe's e-infrastructure, targeting three main audiences: policymakers working in government, science and industry; scientists with an interest in grid computing; and the general public. GridTalk began on 1 May 2008, and will run for two years, co-funded by the EC as part of its 7th Framework program.

Informing policymakers
Many e-infrastructure policy activities produce reports of interest to a wider community, covering topics such as grid standards, security or progress towards a sustainable grid infrastructure. GridTalk works with European e-infrastructure to produce articles and briefings written in jargon-free language, providing timely summaries of policy-oriented reports or key issues. These outputs target scientists and the general public, as well as non-technical policymakers in government and industry.
