The latest phase in Hotwire’s campaign included negotiating a partnership between the DTI-funded Knowledge Transfer Network, Grid Computing Now! and the British Computer Society. The three partners launched a nationwide competition for young professionals and students offering the winner a six-week paid project Internship hosted by Intellect in 2007 among other glittering prizes, and awards for runners-up.
With the backing of the National e-Science Centre, Intel, Microsoft and academia the competition will have a long lasting influence on the grid users of tomorrow who will have seen and understood first-hand the power of this technology.
