The University of Oxford's e-Research Centre, part of the Department of Engineering Science, leads digital research and drives innovation in technology. We connect disciplines, applications and computation to accelerate research and collaboration within the University, nationally and internationally. The Centre provides a world-leading environment that enables collaborative research, interfacing innovative technologies across academic & commercial partnerships to address the grand challenges of today and the future. Since its establishment in 2006 the Centre has grown to be an internationally prestigious team of over 50 multidisciplinary researchers committed to accerlerating research through innovative technology. We are home to a wide portfolio of research projects in the sciences, social sciences, humanities, technology and research infrastructure development and are currently collaborating with over 20 research units across the University, and building research collaborations in the US, Australasia and Europe. Research in the Centre is built upon close collaboration with researchers from different disciplines, by capturing and incorporating existing work practices, we provide unifying technologies and infrastructure that enhance and further the capabilities of each researcher, allowing them to accelerate their research and answer bigger questions faster than ever before. The Centre underpins successful research, brings technological and research expertise together and introduces new ways of thinking in the areas of citizen science and public engagement; scientific computing; visual computing; industrial engagement; internet, information and interaction; software, repositiories and data management; life, natural and biomedical sciences; energy and environment; arts, humanities and social science; physical science and engineering.
