Tue 10 Dec 2002
Following the increased funding for science announced by the Government, PPARC will receive a further 31.6M to continue its e-Science programme throughout the period of the Spending Review, 2003-04 to 2005-06.
The programme will focus on establishing a UK High Energy Physics [HEP] Grid and the computing infrastructure required for the Large Hadron Collider [LHC] experiment at CERN when it becomes operational in 2007. In addition it will deliver a working virtual observatory based on key UK astronomical data sets; placing the UK in a leadership position in the international development of Virtual Observatories and in the development of an EU Grid infrastructure.
