ABSTRACT
In the FIRE domain, there is a long standing history of collaboration between EU and the US. E.g. the Onelab project worked closely together as early as 2006/2007 with the US Planetlab community to build a federated European Planetlab which is still operational and federated till today. Since 2012, the Fed4FIRE project, as a largely collaborative and federation project, is responsible from the EU side for the organization of the GENIFIRE collaboration that has been further enhanced. On 14 and 15 October 2013, Fed4FIRE hosted a workshop to stimulate collaborations between GENI and FIRE researchers. The workshop took place in Leuven, Belgium, and was attended by 38 participants. Besides the above mentioned workshops, till now three summer schools were co-organized between GENI and Fed4FIRE with the goal to bring tutors and students from EU and US together let them collaborate. GENI pays travel funding for the US students and tutors. Fed4FIRE foresees travel funding only for Fed4FIRE students and tutors.
