A Protocol to the Co-operation Agreement was signed in 2005, and a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for the construction of CMS was signed in 2007. Lithuania has been instrumental in the database development at CERN for CMS data mining and data quality analysis, as an in-kind contribution of Lithuania.
Lithuania actively promoted the BalticGrid in 2005, which organized its first large meeting in 2006 in Vilnius. The Grid activities centered in Vilnius are based on a cluster with 150 CPUs of which 100000 CPU hours was allocated to CMS in 2007. Lithuania participates actively in RD39 and RD50, and in the CERN Summer Student Programme in order to strengthen their particle physics teams.
