Introduction

Overview of e-Infrastructure

• National e-Science Centre (NeSC training team)

The concepts of the different aspects of e-Infrastructure are explained, including networks connecting resources of data and computation; Grids that enable these resources to be perceived as "virtual computers"; tools that support collaboration. The impact that e-Infrastructure is beginning to have on research and learning is described with emphasis on the enabling of collaboration and the potential for multi-disciplinary research. The talk sets the context for the remainder of the day, which explores e-Infrastructure at different scales - the campus, nationally and internationally.
