The e-Science Institute: 2006 To 2011

E-Science被描述为随着强大的计算机和高速网络的发展而成为可能的科学、工程和医学。它代表了一种新的研究方式，可以探索纸笔无法解决的复杂系统。它可以研究实验无法探索的现象，如黑洞碰撞。它关乎全球协作和将使其成为可能的下一代计算基础设施。这是一种现在被理解为超越科学的研究方法，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，也是电子研究人员的聚集地。研训所举办讲习班、讲座、会议和辅导课程，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，打造新的跨学科活动，调查分布式计算如何推动他们的研究。他们认识到新的挑战，并发明了新的研究战略来应对这些挑战。ESI运行一个访客计划，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。国际游客为英国社区带来了研究专业知识，并让人们对英国在电子科学方面的实力留下了深刻的印象。ESI将每年开办三个暑期学校，旨在为英国培养具有高度积极性的年轻研究人员，他们拥有先进的电子科学研究技能。大部分工作将基于主题，在这些主题中，一系列参观者、会议和学校将重点放在几个相关的主题上。ESI还对当前的问题做出回应。

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.
