Scientific Computing Laboratory of the Institute of Physics Belgrade organized training event for AEGIS Grid site administrators that was held on 7 March 2011 as a part of NA3 activity of EGI-InSPIRE project. AEGIS Grid site administrators, both experienced and beginners, had an opportunity to meet, exchange their knowledge and actively participate in the making of future AEGIS plans.

In the first part of the event, detailed overview of the present state of National Grid Infrastructure was given, followed by introduction to EGI Operations tools and procedures. Presentation of the new AEGIS Operations and Monitoring tools, like AEGIS Helpdesk and new AEGIS website, and AEGIS Centralized APEL service configuration overview were introduction to discussion where plans for infrastructure expansions and service upgrades were made.

Second part of the meeting included Hands-On session where administrators could install and configure a standard Grid site. Emphasis was given to new services, like CREAM CE.
