1. E-Science Research Councils awarded e-Science funds ” science increasingly done through distributed global collaborations enabled by the Internet, using very large data collections, tera- scale computing resources and high performance visualisation.”. “e-Science is about global collaboration in key areas of science, and the next generation of infrastructure that will enable it “ Fits well with the fundamental needs of the PPARC ! –LHC computing challenge –Virtual Observatory. PPARC e-Science Programme –Large scale, internationally visible programmes, collaborations –Focused on required deliverables (with users) –Building foundations for delivery of approved science programme –For the benefit of the community –Not an open science call. –Not trying to second-guess the PPARC science programme.

9. SR 2002 –£24.8M Uplift –£9M Gravitational Waves –£5.4M Accelerator Science –£2.91M Roberts Implementation –£5.34M RC Institute Infrastructure –£31.6M e-Science ( RC total £115M) Treasury Announcement: To create a UK Particle Physics Grid and the computing and software required for the LHC at CERN when it is turned on in 2007. To deliver a working UK Virtual Observatory based on key UK astronomical data sets placing the UK in a leading position in the international development of virtual observatories and in the development of a European Grid infrastructure. Funds from 2004/05

10. Science Committee Priorities: “ further development of the infrastructure being deployed by Astrogrid and GridPP, establishment of an applications- driven e-science programme, for example LHC data analysis, data centres for ESA missions, and establishment of an integrated solar system modelling” (Council) Want to see full project costs - Scientifically peer reviewed by PPRP - GSC advise on projects/programme - Final programme approval rests with Science Committee

13. Proposals Support approved PPARC Science programme Individual institutions or consortia Coordinated solution to one or more of the above challenges. Collaboration between different sciences and/or industries particularly encouraged. Bringing together the relevant expertise. Full commitment to and involvement in the UK and International e-Science. Key roles in the UK e-Science programme, EU and other international projects Evidence of national and international leadership Supported by significant local investment in relevant infrastructure and expertise. Show how developments build upon PPARC’s existing investment in e-Science Key international partners such as CERN, ESO, and relevant projects in the US/Asia. Where appropriate, commit to support for centres for the full duration of the PPARC science projects. Full project costs to completion with justified resources and management plan.
