[edit] Interactions in Understanding the Universe

The overall goal of Interactions in Understanding the Universe is to support and strengthen the education and outreach activities of Grid-based scientific experiments that utilize federated resources at U.S. labs and universities. This year a group of scientists, computer scientists and educators are committed to building a rich portfolio of coherent, online collaborative labs and to planning an Education Virtual Organization to support participants and developers long-term across projects.

I2U2 will develop and maintain a virtual portfolio of laboratories ("e-Labs" and "i-Labs") for a diverse range of audiences, and will provide tools and support services to assist developers in creating these educational resources. These laboratories break new ground by using the Grid for education in the same way that science uses the Grid.

I2U2 is initially a collaboration between the Adler Planetarium and Astronomy Museum, Fermilab & QuarkNet, the ATLAS, CMS and MARIACHI experiments, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO), the University of Chicago, and the University of Houston.
