In response to requests from the investigators of the EPSRC e-Science Projects, annual meetings to bring the projects together have been organised by the EPSRC e-Science Programme team and the National e-Science Centre (NeSC). The purpose of the two-day was;

for the projects to learn more about each other (raise general awareness, build on existing links between projects, look for commonality and ways to leverage results to avoid repetition, and to share experience & knowledge of wider e-Science Grid issues) and to
learn more about the e-Science Programme and what support it could provide.
demonstrate what results have been achieved to date

For 2004, the meeting (held from March 25th to March 26th) will not only include the 6 Pilot projects that started in 2001 (Reality Grid, myGrid, Comb-e-Chem, Discovery Net, DAME and Geodise) but two new Pilot Projects funded in 2003 (Integrative Biology and GOLD). The scope of the meeting is broadened further on the 26th March by the inclusion of all projects funded as part of the EPSRC's Computer Science for e-Science programme, who will make oral and/or poster presentations. There will be networking opportunities at a Social event of the evening of the 25th March for all participants in the EPSRC e-Science programme (both participants in Pilot Projects and Computer Science for e-Science projects).
