Between 2004 and 2010 LPDS operated the Central-European Regional Training Centre of EGEE, and the laboratory plays an active role in providing grid trainings in Europe and world-wide. With national and international trainings, LPDS provides knowledge transfer and targets new users from industry as well as from science. LPDS organized and hosted grid summer schools in 2005, 2006, and 2007. In 2008 LPDS or-ganized the world largest grid training event, the ISSGC08 Grid Summer School and also hosted several grid related training events. LPDS is very active in undergraduate and postgraduate education. Personnel of the laboratory conduct regular lectures/classes at graduate and postgraduate levels at universities ELTE, OE, and BME. The laboratory is the founding member of the International Desktop Grid Federation.

The laboratory organised the bi-yearly international DAPSYS conference, which focuses mainly on grid systems, grid development, grid applications, distributed and parallel computing, and recently launched the PUCOWO workshop. The members of laboratory publish every year numerous prestigious scientific publications in the forms of international journal papers, book chapters and conference papers. LPDS significantly contributes to promoting dissemination of grid computing results and participates in the EU S-CUBE Network of Excellence. Prof. Dr. Peter Kacsuk, head of the laboratory is the editor-in-chief of Journal of Grid Computing (with Ian Foster).
