Collaboration, Co-Laboratories and e-Research: Understanding and
Supporting New Forms of Science and Social Science
21st June
FREE workshop

The day before the conference we are also hosting a one day free workshop
as part of our Agenda Setting Workshop series.  We are pleased to welcome
Prof. Gary and Judy Olson from the University of Michigan as our guest
speakers.

The workshop will look at the role of e-science in supporting new forms of
community and will also provide an opportunity to share experience from e-
science and e-social science pilot demonstrator projects. The event is
aimed at researchers working in e-science/social science, those interested
in Computer Supported Cooperative Work who might consider the potential of
the grid in this area, and those who are interested in collaborative
science or how to support it technically.
