Lead Research Organisation:
University of Manchester
Department Name: Physics and Astronomy
Abstract
Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.
Planned Impact
The impact is fully described in the pathways to impact annex.
In summary the e-Infrastructure, including software infrastructure, will
- Provide badly needed additional resources for all STFC data intensive science communities undertaking science supported by PPAN and the National Facilities, thus enabling more science output.
- Address the STFC need to harmonise computing across STFC as called for by its Computing Strategy.
- Pilot engagement with UK industry in the provision of cloud based resources.
- Aid STFC in its need to move towards a National e-Infrastructure for research across Research Councils.
