The first Campus Grid in Latin America will provide 33.3 teraflops of computing power to several research groups of the São Paulo State University. Eight clusters are being deployed at different campuses all over the State of São Paulo, with the support of R$ 4.4 million from the Ministry of Science and Technology, through the Research and Project Finance Agency (FINEP). |

An e-learning center provides courses to improve the education of the undergraduate students that intend to pursue an academic career on High Energy Physics. The site is based on Moodle, an open source course management system, and it should also contain materials for training researchers, students and IT staff on high performance computing based on grid architecture. |

The Elementary Structure of Matter: A Chart in Every School is an outreach project that intends to disseminates the basic concepts of High Energy Physics to the high school students. A chart was distributed to all the 24,131 high schools in Brazil and also to Minitry of Education of the Portuguese-speaking countries. |

The main idea of the EduGrid Project is to use the approach known as "grid in a box" to provide some hands on courses for students of Brazil |

Each year about 5000 high school students in 22 countries come to one of about 80 nearby universities or research centres for one day in order to unravel the mysteries of particle physics. Lectures from active scientists give insight in topics and methods of basic research at the fundaments of matter and forces, enabling the students to perform measurements on real data from particle physics experiments themselves. At the end of each day, like in an international research collaboration, the participants join in a video conference for discussion and combination of their results. |
