Next Steps for UK e-Science
PrioritiesRetain balance & interdependenceBuild each aspect’s strength
New projects – demanding advances – RCs + Industry New e-Infrastructure – NGS, OMII-UK, DCC, … + new OSI e-
Infrastructure plan + European e-Infrastructure New researchers – improved access & outreach – Centres +
JISC + Grid Computing Now!

Increase Visibility & Evidence of Value
Increased VisibilityIntegrated view of all UK e-Science
Built on NeSC but with many more direct contributions Projects, centres, services, people, results
Refresh web sites Ensure e-Science evident Even if you have chosen another name for your centre! To cross-reference each other
Evidence of ValueThe e-Science role
Action Malcolm & Carole last time
Collation building on Carole & Jim’s work

Plan for Future Resources
Through Research Councils and JISCDevelop case & plan for after CSREnsure as much synergy as possible
Through the development of the OSIE-Infrastructure plans
Through DTI, DoH, …
This requires we have a common vision
