Healthgrid 2005 will provide a forum for GRID projects in the medical, biological and biomedical domains as well as for grid projects that seek to integrate these.

With an emphasis on results, it is hoped that functionality being developed within such projects will be demonstrated.

The overall objective is to reinforce and promote the awareness of the deployment of grid technology in health. Participation is encouraged across the spectrum of bio/medical informatics from technology developers and researchers through research network representatives and regional health authorities to healthcare clinicians and administrators.
