RadiotherapyGrid - Live Demo and Presentation

The live demo consists of a presentation including a technical demonstration. The presentation is broken up into several sections. Presenters may tailor the presentation to their audience by electing to only show certain sections (for example, the business section may be skipped when presenting to a technical audience). There is also a stand-alone executive summary, which can be given in situations where there is not enough time to perform the full presentation.

The presentations are in Powerpoint format and include a script in the notes to help guide the presenter. The presentations cover the same material as the key story document which should be read for background knowledge before presenting.

All content available for download is distributed under a creative commons licence.

The various sections are described in more detail below.
