The Romanian Tier-2 Federation RO-LCG was established in 2006 following the conclusion of the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid (WLCG) collaboration’s Memorandum of Understanding between CERN and ANCS.

Since 2007, an annual RO-LCG workshop or conferences in alternatively held on topics related to the Grid and High Performance computing support for Particles Physics and scientific research in general.

The RO-LCG 2012 conference is dedicated to the exchange of information between various scientific communities working in Grid, Cloud computing and HPC. The event gathers representatives of national, international grid infrastructures, WLCG members and high-energy physicists, computer scientist, site administrator, grid, cloud and HPC users.

The main topics of this year:

*National and international Grid and HPC collaborations
*Grid activities developed in the RO-LCG federation
*GRID & Cloud computing, Computer Networks for Scientific Research;
*High Performance computing in Scientific Research
*Scientific, Engineering and Commercial Grid Applications
*Grid Technology Development
*Grid software and middleware
