About eResearch Australasia

The Call for Participation is now open for eResearch Australasia 2010: 21st Century Research – Where Computing Meets Data. The Program Committee invites researchers and practitioners from diverse disciplines to participate in the conference, to be held 8 – 12 November at the RACV Royal Pines on Queensland’s Gold Coast, Australia.

eResearch Australasia features speakers and demonstrations from the Australian, New Zealand and international eResearch community and provides:

A catalyst for innovation and collaboration, by bringing together researchers, practitioners, and educators from diverse disciplines
A forum to support the development, enhancement, and harmonisation of national, regional, and discipline-specific eResearch infrastructures and services
A showcase for innovative science and research enabled through these technologies and services

Theme: 21st Century Research — Where Computing Meets Data

The voyage of 21st Century discovery is enabled by new technologies, new research methods, and above all new collaborations. At the nexus where computing meets data, researchers are using advanced visualisation, simulation and modelling to create and explore new knowledge terrains.

Making this happen requires a large number of people working together — on making it possible to re-use data, on supporting collaboration, on developing standards, policies and practices, on networks, on access and security, on pushing the boundaries of computing power, and on tools to make sense of all the information.
