myGrid Platform Grant Renewal

Hello everyone,

The myGrid team are pleased to announce that their proposal for the funding by the UK EPSRC (the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council) of the myGrid platform renewal grant has been successful.

The grant will run from January 2009 to January 2014 and the award of 1.3 million UK pounds will help to fund the team’s fundamental research into e-Science and e-Laboratories. This research underpins work such as Taverna, myExperiment and UTOPIA. The grant recognizes four main themes of the team’s research:

  • knowledge management for e-science,
  • metadata management in e-laboratories,
  • scientific workflow design, management and enactment
  • social computing for e-scientists

The grant will be held by people from the Universities of Manchester and Southampton.

Details of the grant can be found at the EPSRC website.

The team is very grateful to everyone who supported the bid. We look forward to collaborating with many of you in the future.
