Hub Research

Members of the Hub team are involved in several projects that address both the applications and social shaping research strands. To find out more, click on the project titles below.

Adoption of e-Research Technologies: from prototype to commodity

The aim of this project is to study factors that may inhibit the wider diffusion and adoption of e-Research technologies and tools, and devise strategies for tackling them.

Adaptive Visualisation Tools for e-Science Collaboration (ADVISES)

The project is developing sub-languages that express clinical researchers' high-level requirements informing design of analysis facilities and visualisations to support e-science collaboration.

A study of requirements and options for Accelerating the transition from traditional research to Virtual Research Organisations through e-infrastructures in Social Sciences (AVROSS)

This project will report on the state of the art in applying e-Infrastructure to social science and humanities in several fields.

Collaborative Research Events on the Web (CREW)

The project aims to improve access to research event content by capturing and publishing the scholarly communication that occurs at events like conferences and workshops.

International Collaboration to Extend and Advance Grid Education (ICEAGE)

A major objective of ICEAGE is to provide an effective mechanism for drawing on the expertise of educators in Grid technologies by creating a forum to bring together experts and to advance Grid education.

Source-to-Output Repositories (StORe)

This project addresses the area of interactions between output repositories of research publications and source repositories of primary research data.

Grid Technology for Neuroscience (NeuroGrid)

The aim of this project is to enhance collaboration between clinical, imaging and e-scientists to create a Grid-based network of neuroimaging centres and a neuroimaging toolkit.

Meeting Memory Technology Informing Collaboration (Memetic)

The aim of this project is to develop tools which will make distributed meetings as productive as face-to-face meetings.
