9. Our Mission
To create a sustainable research platform across
participating organisations and their collaborators
by applying innovative computing technology to
interdisciplinary problems of increasing scale and
complexity
The consortium works individually and collectively in
attracting new support for e‐Research activities.
Driven by specific application areas and building on
existing e-Infrastructure technologies e-Research South
works to:
• enhance the ease of use, uptake and ‘accessibility’ of
e-Research
• develop know-how & tools for dealing with research
data
• provide development of and access to advanced
visualisation
• create a regional community
• provide opportunities for public engagement with
science

Models
12. PLAN-E
• All here are successful centres
• Different models and strengths
• Need to match expectation of collaboration between
members with reality
• Diversification is key to achieve sustainability
– Different models available including subscription, direct grant etc.
• Recognise that collaboration can happen at multiple different
levels to be of benefit
– E-infrastructure
– Technology
– End user communities
• Training – look to how to ‘upskill’ through CPD & not create
‘Research tool professors’ – share materials & people
