The e-Science Institute: 2006 To 2011

电子科学被描述为科学，工程和医学，是由强大的计算机和高速网络的发展成为可能。它代表了一种新的研究方式，在这种研究方式中，可以探索纸笔无法解决的复杂系统。它可以研究无法通过实验探索的现象，例如黑洞的碰撞。它是关于全球合作和下一代计算基础设施，将使它成为可能。它是一种研究方法，现在被理解为超越科学，包括将受益于计算或数据密集型技术的所有研究领域。电子科学研究所（eSI）是英国国家中心和电子研究人员的聚会场所。该研究所举办了一个讲习班、讲座、会议和辅导班方案，并提供实践培训。在那里，电子研究人员可以分享关于他们特定研究项目的知识和想法，建立新的跨学科活动，研究分布式计算可以促进他们研究的方法。他们认识到新的挑战，并发明新的研究策略来解决这些问题。eSI运行一个访问者计划，研究人员可以与志同道合的专家和爱好者一起专注于他们的研究。国际访问者将研究专业知识带到英国社区，并带回家英国在电子科学方面的实力的印象。eSI每年将举办三次暑期学校，旨在为英国培养具有先进电子科学研究技能的积极性高的年轻研究人员。大部分工作将以主题为基础，其中一系列的游客，会议和学校集中在一些相关的主题。eSI还对当前的问题作出回应。

E-Science has been described as the science, engineering and medicine that is made posssible by the development of powerful computers and high-speed networks. It represents a new way of doing research in which complex systems, which are not solvable by pen and paper, can be explored. It can investigate phenomena, such as the collision of black holes, that cannot be explored by experiment. It is about global collaboration and the next generation of computing infrastructure that will enable it. It is a method of research that is now understood to extend beyond the sciences, and includes all areas of research which will benefit from computationally or data intensive techniques. The e-Science Institute (eSI) is the national UK centre and the meeting place for e-researchers. The Institute runs a programme of workshops, lectures, conferences and tutorials with hands-on training. There, e-researchers can share knowledge and ideas about their particular research projects, forge new interdisciplinary activities, investigate ways in which distributed computing can advance their research. They recognise new challenges and invent new research strategies to address them. The eSI runs a visitor programme, in which researchers can focus on their research with like-minded experts and enthusiasts. International visitors bring research expertise to the UK community and take home an impression of the UK's strength in e-Science. The eSI will run three Summer Schools a year, intended to seed the UK with highly motivated young researchers with well advanced e-Science research skills. Much of the work will be based on themes in which a series of visitors, meetings and schools focus on a few related topics. The eSI also responds to current issues.
