Advances in networks and new ways to access services and data are having a profound effect on the research that can be done and the way researchers work across all disciplines.

This Jisc-sponsored roadshow for researchers and those providing IT support, will introduce some of the infrastructure available at the international, national, regional and local level to help researchers collaborate in multidisciplinary teams and manage ever increasing volumes of research data. We will also hear from researchers at York who have successfully applied some of these tools, techniques and services to enable research that would otherwise have been impractical, if not impossible.
 
Speakers include Dr David Fergusson, Deputy Director, Training, Outreach and Education, the National e-Science Centre and Professor Jim Austin, York University, who will introduce the work at York. Demonstrations and posters over lunch will showcase local research and services.
