This meeting has been arranged to bring together as many as possible of those leading and working on EPSRC e-Science grants. This should include all currently active grants, and any that have finished recently which have useful experience to pass on or plans to resume by some means.

The primary purpose of the meeting is to stimulate the communication of ideas between EPSRC projects. It is also intended as an opportunity for effective communication between the EPSRC & JISC core programme (NGS, OMII-UK, DCC, etc) and the research community. Therefore anyone wishing to interact with the EPSRC research community is welcome.

There will be an opportunity to set up and test demos during the afternoon of the 27th.

Target Audience

This meeting is intended for those leading and working on EPSRC e-Science research projects and those who wish to work with the researchers.

Programme

This event is scheduled to start at 08:30 Wednesday 28 March 2007 and close at 17:00 on Wednesday 28 March 2007.

A dinner is being held in The George Hotel on the 27 March at 20:00
