DTI Technology Programme and e-Science

1. DTI Technology Programme ande-Science Anne Trefethen Deputy Director, e-Science Core Programme

2. e-Science Centres • Act as information resource • Each Centre given £1m for industrially based projects • Each provide resource for UK Grid Edinburgh Glasgow Newcastle Belfast Manchester DL Cambridge Oxford RAL Cardiff London Southampton

3. DTI investment of £11m Resulted in 49 projects 83 collaborating groups 61 different companies involved Over £14m industrial investment 37 SMEs 3 Industry collaborators provided more than £1m Range of disciplines (IT, Engineering, Pharma, Environmental etc) New sectors engaged (broadcasting, defence, banking etc) Industry Projects

4. A few Examples …

5. G-Civil Mission:“To build a prototype system responsible for the collection, distribution and visualisation of data collected from civil engineering sites or from infrastructure monitoring schemes” Mott MacDonald Arcadis Geraghty Miller International W H White Plc WJ Groundwater Ltd

7. G-Civil • Resulted in web tool for data collection and visualisation • Is being used by monitoring point.com • Offered as and additional extra to their products • Publicised in “Ground Engineering”

8. The GridCast ProjectGrid based Broadcast Infrastructures • To develop a baseline media grid to support a broadcaster • Manage distributed collections of stored media • Prototype security and access mechanisms • Integrate processing and technical resources • Integrate with media standards and hardware • To analyse Quality of Service issues • Analyse remote content distribution infrastructures • Analyse remote service provision • To analyse reactivity, reliability and resilience issues in a grid-based broadcast infrastructure

9. The GridCast Project • Now largely complete • Schedules can be compiled and material automatically transferred using in “trial” form. • Just missed funding in Technology Programme call 2, have proceeded to full bid in call 3 • BBC continue to work and develop services

10. Telemedicine for MDT Meetings in Cancer Cancer Centre Addenbrooke’s (Papworth) Cancer Units Bedford Peterborough West Suffolk Harlow Hinchingbrooke King’s Lynn

11. Radiology, Cambridge, UK

12. Telemedicine • Well supported by clinicians, has made a change in work practices • Extended beyond original remit into other clinical areas • NHS invested in project • A clear winner for take up….

13. A Market for Computational Services • Develop mechanisms • price quotation, • negotiation, • accounting, • payment • to support paid-for Grid services (now Web Services) • Deploy and test these mechanisms in several real-world computing markets GreenGrid

14. Negotiation Use and Payment • Register with Payment Service • Discover a negotiable service • Negotiate for use of the service and agreeon terms • Use the service. • The service records usage, collects payment and returns the results. Users can obtain a real-time account statement via the Payment Service web interface

15. Computational Markets • Another 9 months to go • Have integrated pay-as-you go into services • Exploitation through industrial partners (e.g NAG provided mathematical services running on utility hardware on pay-as-you go basis) • Exploitation through national facilities…

18. IDENTIFICATION OF TECHNOLOGY PRIORITIES NETWORKSinform decision making TECHNOLOGY STRATEGY BOARD Technological strategic focus for each theme DELIVERY through working with a variety of channels Technology Programme after the Review Technology Strategy and Assessment Unit STRATEGIC THEMES • Funding Mechanisms • Knowledge Transfer Networks • Collaborative Research and Development CUSTOMERS

19. Technology Programme • £370m over six Competitions, • Two stage - open and very competitive, • Each call around 9 Technology Priority Areas, • Two instruments • Collaborative R & D, • KTNs

20. Strategic Key Themes Healthcare in an Ageing Society A more Secure Environment An Intelligent, Connected World Sustainable Production and Consumption Environmentally friendly Transport Systems Renewable and Sustainable Energy Supply The Modern Built Environment

21. Identifying Strategic Priorities: Criteria • Business Exploitation • Cross Sectoral Applications • Strength of UK SET Knowledge Base • Economic, Social, Quality of life, Environmental Benefits • Cross-government Collaboration (e.g. healthcare, energy) • Spill-over Benefits, Failure of Market • Scope of Effectiveness for Government Intervention

22. Technology Programme - Objectives Succeeding through Innovation Stimulate R&D- between UK-based firms, - between UK-based firms and the science base. So as to increase: • number of collaborations and business investment in R&D, • awareness of benefit of R&D, • dissemination of R&D outputs, • high value-added wealth creation from new and improved products and services.

23. Collaborative Research & Development Objective; “to improve the UK’s innovation performance by increasing the breadth and depth of collaborative research and development between the UK science, engineering and technology base and UK based businesses.”

24. Collaborative Research & Development Grant-based products - from three categories each with two types: • BasicResearch - Far from market projects, • AppliedResearch - Middle market projects, • ExploitationDevelopment- Nearer to market projects. All involving 2+ collaborators:- • Science to Business – S2B • Business to Business – B2B

25. Funding for Collaborative R & D • 75% for Basic Research projects, • 50% for Applied Research projects, • 25% for near market or Exploitation projects. • Business to Business projects(50%, 40%, 25%), And:- • Typical projects £2m - £5m but no minimums, • Attractive to have by-in from other Stakeholders, • Duration - 6 months to 5 years, • Can be used to fund EUREKA projects, • All with consideration to state aid rules.

26. Technology Priorities for the April 2004 Call • Bio-processing, • Advanced (Composite) Materials and Structures, • Inter-Enterprise Computing, • Sensors and Control Systems, • Renewable Energy Technologies, • Electronics and Displays Technologies, • Technologies for Environmentally Friendly Transport.
