Following a consultation led by David Willetts, the UK's Minister for Universities and Science, a significant investment has been made for a ten-year roadmap in e-infrastructure (digital infrastructure to help business, academia, industry, and the research enterprise). This includes funding and maintenance of areas such as: networks, computation, software, skills training, technologies.

The e-Infrastructure leadership council is one of the groups that will be advising the government on how best to use e-infrastructure funds over the next ten years to help encourage e-science, technological development, and emerging business.

The council are asking for input from the research community - especially from people who represent the start-up community, researchers and those in academia interested in pursuing commercial opportunities or involved in spin-outs and small/medium enterprises in the UK.

To voice your views on e-infrastructure, please complete the survey.
