	MoU	Disseminating new applications of relevance through the e-ScienceTalk dissemination channels  Disseminating the outputs of EMI in e-ScienceTalk publications  Raising the awareness of other potential users and decision makers, through the presentation of the results of [PROJECT], about the usefulness of e-Infrastructures for e-Science.  EMI will provide content and information about the project and applications of relevance to their community to e-ScienceTalk publications such as iSGTW and the policy documents, the GridBriefings  EMI will promote e-ScienceTalk's products to its communities and contacts, for example by offering registrants to events the opportunity to subscribe to iSGTW  EMI will offer e-ScienceTalk the opportunity to act as media sponsors for events that it organises, including adding the e-ScienceTalk logos and links to e-ScienceTalk products to the event website, in return for promotional activities for the event.	Dissemination
IGE	MoU	To facilitate the delivery of Globus-related requirements from EMI to IGE, for example in the areas of standard installation and deployment procedures To collaborate on standardisation and interoperability in the areas of Compute and Data Management for DCI middleware To exploit the collaboration's successes through the remit of each of the Parties' dissemination and communication activities
EUIndiaGrid-II	MoU	Transfer of know-how on best practices in configuration and deployment of production services (this may cover release and change management, quality assurance guidelines, operational procedures, certification guidelines, etc) Participation of EU-IndiaGrid2 sites in the large scale pre-deployment testing of EMI 1 release candidates (if you agree with this, the testing period is Mar-April 2011) Upgrade of EU-IndiaGrid gLite sites to the latest versions included in the EMI 1 release Dissemination of the progress and final results of the collaboration within EU-IndiaGrid2 and EMI communities.
ERINA+	MoU	ERINA+ main activities depend on the involvement of e-Infrastructure funded projects to evaluate the impact of e-Infrastructure investments. Feedback from cooperating projects will also enable the team to develop a sound self assessment methodology by the end of the project lifetime. EMI will benefit from the cooperation with a team of experts in impact assessment both on the social and economic point of view. The cooperation gives EMI the opportunity to: Be trained for the collection of sound quantitative and qualitative indicators which can then be used by EMI to prepare a sustainability and/or exploitation plan as expected by the EC. Have visibility towards the European Commission as one of the projects which has cooperated with ERINA+ in the definition of a common methodology for the evaluation of impact of e-Infrastructures investments. Have visibility during dissemination activities performed by the ERINA+ team.
DECIDE	MoU	To facilitate the adoption and exploitation of EMI services by DECIDE infrastructure To increase the usability of EMI services to meet the requirements of DECIDE community	Virtual Research Environments
