  8. e-Science: key enabler • e-Science Systematic investigation into methods of improving research by applying advances in computation • Demand increasing • more data, more models, more uses & users • Enabler of strategic importance • LWEC, Ageing, Energy, Security, Digital Economy, … • needed for almost all research priorities • Benefits • research effectiveness in almost all disciplines • decisions, business, healthcare & policy

  9. Cycles of Progress technologyinnovation betterresearch researchchallenge CSinnovation newchallenges

  10. Products of Progress new capabilities research breakthroughs technologyinnovation betterresearch researchchallenge CSinnovation newchallenges new CSresults new opportunities

  11. Goal for eSI new capabilities research breakthroughs technologyinnovation betterresearch researchchallenge CSinnovation newchallenges new CSresults new opportunities refined, re-usable and transferable e-Science methods and principles

  12. The e-ScienceInstitute Context for eSI e-Science research computationalservices &consultancy advanced technology development pioneering projects

  13. eSI Activities • Themes • Responsive events • Visitors • Training and Summer schools • Dissemination

  14. e-Science Evolves • 1952 Hodgkin & Huxley use Brunsviga calculators to model “action potentials” • 1958 Denis Noble struggles to get computer access • 1971 3 structures in PDB at Brookhaven • 1980 EMBL-Bank • 1995 EBI • 2005 ESFRI roadmap: ELIXIR • 2009 Douglas Kell, CE of BBSRC, expects: • ~50% of research to be “dry” lab • >95% of research biologists to use “tools” The eSI is evolving for e-Science’s future eSI 2001

  15. Your Homework • For today’s discussion at 15:15 • Think about how eSI should evolve • For 2011 to 2015 • I need your advice
