Campus Grid WG
The Campus Grid (CG) WG serves as an open discussion, coordination, exchange, and standardization forum for ongoing and future projects to build campus-wide grids in Switzerland.
- Contact: Pascal Jermini , EPFL
- Project : Condor Desktop Grid Integration into a National Computing Grid

- Swiss Grid School 2009 - http://sgs2009.eig.ch
Grid Workflow WG
The Grid Workflow (GW) WG serves as forum for collaboration in the area of grid workflow management research to exploit synergies between existing research groups in the area, and establishes, sustains, and grows the Swiss user community of grid workflows technologies.
- Contact: Cesare Pautasso, USI
Planned Working Groups
Industry WG
The Industry Relations WG plans to include both academic members and guests from industry to discuss the relation of SwiNG to companies and commercial aspects of grid computing in Switzerland.

Finished Working Groups
Letter WG
The goal of the Mandate Letter WG was to initiate the organisational structure of SwiNG.
- Output: You are looking at it !
- Contact: Christoph Witzig, SWITCH
Seed WG
The goal of the Seed Project WG was to initiate the SwiNG infrastructure and applications.
- Output: The Seed Publication
- Contact: Heinz Stockinger, UZH (used to be Wibke Sudholt)
Infrastructure & Basic Grid Services WG
The Infrastructure & Basic Grid Services (IBGS) WG aimed to establish and operate a working grid infrastructure, and had three subgroups: the Grid Architecture Team (GAT), the Grid Operations Team (GOT), and the Data Management Team (DMT).
- Output: The SMSCG project and working group (see above)
- Contact: Peter Kunszt, CSCS, and Christoph Witzig, SWITCH
Proteomics WG
Starting from earlier efforts in the Swiss Bio Grid project, the Proteomics WG is working on an expandable multi-tool platform for automated and in-depth analysis of mass spectrometry data.
- Contact: Andreas Quandt, SIB
