e-Science has already transformed our society. Computers, networks and software are ominpresent in our daily lives. New industrial processes are being developed with the help of computer simulations. Yet this is only the beginning, and a host of advancements are waiting to be discovered, developed and implemented for the benefit of science and society.
eSSENCE is a strategic research program in e-science. It is a cooperation project between Uppsala University, Lund university and Umeå university and was created as a result of a governmental initiative to promote high-quality research in a range of areas of strategic societal and industrial importance. The vision of eSSENCE is to take Swedish e-science to the highest international level and build a creative national research environment . . .
. . . where new e-science methods and “work modes” are discovered and implemented
. . . enabling more realistic simulations . ..
. . . leading to more trustworthy simulation results . . .
. . . and allowing new questions to be posed and new applications to be tackled
. . . with a strong interplay between e-science research, e-ducation, e-infrastructures, industry&society.
