  1. E-Science: Achievements, Challenges and new OpportunitiesSupercomputing ‘06UK e-Science StandMalcolm AtkinsonDirector e-Science Institute& e-Science Envoywww.nesc.ac.uk13th November 2006

  2. Overview • Celebrate Five Years of Success • Three Great Strengths Established • Welcome New Projects • E-Science: Systematic Support for Collaborative Research • Multi-disciplinary, Multi-Site & Multi-National • All disciplines contribute & benefit • Enabling wider engagement • Building with advances in Computing Science

  3. Commitment to e-Infrastructure • A shared resource • That enables science, research, engineering, medicine, industry, … • It will improve UK / European / … productivity • Lisbon Accord 2000 • e-Science Vision SR2000 – John Taylor • Commitment by UK government • Sections 2.23-2.25 • Always there • c.f. telephones, transport, power

  4. UK e-Science Success • Thriving Community • All disciplines & all Research Councils • Industry & Academia • Many universities & research institutes • UK e-Science All Hands Meetings • Productive collaboration
