The MAGIC (Mathematics Access Grid Instruction and Collaboration) project commenced in 2006 and is aimed at sharing postgraduate courses in mathematics for PhD students using access grid technology in a virtual room setting. The consortium currently has 19 universities as partners throughout the UK, with both small and large mathematics departments fully involved in the delivery of the programme in addition to their students being able to take fully participate in the lectures. The courses are given in the Autumn and Spring terms and cover all areas of mathematics. More details about MAGIC and the lecture series programme may be found at http://www.maths.shef.ac.uk/magic/index.php . From September 2011 MAGIC is planning to introduce a number of changes to the way it manages its operations. The changes affect the committee structures with the formation of a Management Team and a single overall Director of MAGIC who will be supported by administrative and technical support staff. This will result in a more efficient managerial structure and together with MAGIC partners contributing towards the running costs, this will enable MAGIC to become self sustaining in the longer term. On the academic side, the changes will allow MAGIC to consolidate its course provision and improve quality. The range of courses available will facilitate members to be able to offer at least 100 hours of formally assessed training courses to its students in line with EPSRC's expressed aspirations regarding the training of DTA funded students.

MAGIC（数学访问网格教学和协作）项目于 2006 年启动，旨在在虚拟房间环境中使用访问网格技术为博士生共享数学研究生课程。该联盟目前在英国拥有 19 所大学作为合作伙伴，无论大小的数学系都充分参与了该项目的实施，并且学生也能够充分参与讲座。这些课程在秋季和春季学期提供，涵盖数学的所有领域。有关 MAGIC 和讲座系列计划的更多详细信息，请访问 http://www.maths.shef.ac.uk/magic/index.php 。从 2011 年 9 月起，MAGIC 计划对其运营管理方式进行一系列变革。这些变化影响了委员会的结构，包括管理团队和 MAGIC 的单一总体总监的组建，该总监将得到行政和技术支持人员的支持。这将带来更高效的管理结构，并与 MAGIC 合作伙伴一起承担运营成本，这将使 MAGIC 能够在较长时期内实现自我维持。在学术方面，这些变化将使 MAGIC 能够巩固其课程设置并提高质量。提供的课程范围将有助于会员能够根据 EPSRC 对 DTA 资助的学生培训所表达的愿望，为其学生提供至少 100 小时的正式评估培训课程。
