Choreography, archaeology and medieval warfare are not typically associated with the use of e-infrastructure. However, pioneering researchers within these fields have shown that cutting-edge computer technology is not just for computer scientists. OMII-UK aims to promote this trend by engaging with research groups from all disciplines to find out what they need to get started with e-Infrastructure. To do this, OMII-UK needs to hear from YOU.

OMII-UK will be investigating the e-infrastructure needs of the UK research community (in conjunction with the e-IUS and e-Uptake projects). The project, called ENGAGE, will be jointly undertaken by the National Grid Service, one of the UK's largest e-Infrastructure providers. ENGAGE will help OMII-UK to identify the common problems that prevent researchers from making use of e-infrastructure, disseminate best practice, and develop and deploy suites of software to meet the needs of researchers.

If your group is interested in taking part in ENGAGE, and potentially benefiting from software to support the use of computing infrastructure in your research, please contact us at info@omii.ac.uk.
