  1. South-east Regional e-Research Consortium (SeReRC) Keith Haines, Jon Blower, Dan Bretherton, Alastair Gemmell Reading e-Science Centre University of Reading

  2. Introduction • Reading e-Science Centre existed since 2003 • Focus on environmental science especially; • Visualisation of hi-res model and satellite data • Grid computing for clusters running climate models • SeReRC is EPSRC Platform grant • Oxford, Reading, Southampton and RAL • Formal start June 2008 for 5 years • 4 years personnel support/`centre +PI time

  3. The Aims of SeReRC • To increase takeup of “e-Research” within and across Consortium Institutes and SE region • Sustainable integration with institutions research infrastructure! • Benefit from complementary e-expertise • Strong focus on Research Applications • Want to initiate new collaborations between institutes in several areas! • Proposal mentions: • Climate, Archaeology, Chemistry, Quantitative Biology as early foci. Very keen to hear from other areas?

  4. Planned Activities • Focus Groups • Application areas eg. climate, visualisation, campus grids…….. • Attendees from different institutes • Identify quick wins to improve/begin new collaborations. • Initiate Working groups • Timetable start in autumn 2008 • Working groups • Oversee use of SeReRC shared staff resources to realise Quick Win deliverables (delivery 6-9 months) • Strategic look at further Applications of e-Research • Outputs: eg. Demonstrators, New grant proposals……? • Workshops (2/yr?) • Promote x-institute collaborations • Include outside speakers • SeReRC Seminar Series • Some consolidation required • Possibility of remote participation

  5. Summary • Reading needs an e-Research strategy! • SeReRC expects to help support that strategy! • SeReRC staff will retain an application focus and staff will aim to work on finite length projects with deliverables • SeReRC staff should expect some scientific recognition for substantial research enabling contributions of time
