General Information

Following on from the first successful NERC eScience meeting, this is the second NERC annual eScience meeting. This is an opportunity for both projects and studentships to showcase what they have done, discuss the issues they have faced, and learn from each other's experiences. There will be a poster and demonstration session on the morning of the second day and we see this as a particularly important opportunity to try out new tools and techniques and share ideas.

The meeting is being co-organised by NIEeS and Ned Garnett, the NERC eScience Co-ordinator.

Aim of the meeting

To bring the community together to share experiences, to get updates on what is happening within the NERC eScience programme, and to think about ways forward.
