eResearch Australasia 2010: 21st Century Research -- Where Computing Meets Data

eResearch Australasia is our region's biggest and best eResearch conference. New Zealand participation in the event has increased since the founding of KAREN, and we encourage as many New Zealand eResearch advocates to attend as possible.

The conference will be held 8 - 12 November at RACV Royal Pines on Queensland's Gold Coast.

eResearch Australasia features speakers and demonstrations from the Australian, New Zealand and international eResearch community and provides:

• A catalyst for innovation and collaboration, by bringing together researchers, practitioners, and educators from diverse disciplines
• A forum to support the development, enhancement, and harmonisation of national, regional, and discipline-specific eResearch infrastructures and services
• A showcase for innovative science and research enabled through these technologies and services

Theme: 21st Century Research -- Where Computing Meets Data

The voyage of 21st Century discovery is enabled by new technologies, new research methods, and above all new collaborations. At the nexus where computing meets data, researchers are using advanced visualisation, simulation and modelling to create and explore new knowledge terrains.

Making this happen requires a large number of people working together -- on making it possible to re-use data, on supporting collaboration, on developing standards, policies and practices, on networks, on access and security, on pushing the boundaries of computing power, and on tools to make sense of all the information.

Researchers, practitioners, leaders and communicators in Science, Engineering, the Humanities and the Arts - what new terrains are you exploring? Join us on the journey.

Call for participation

A call for participation has been issued. This year the conference is introducing two specialised tracks to complement the general programme: Computation & Visualisation, and Data.

Visit the eResearch Australasia website for detailed information on participation. Submissions for presentations, BoFs, and workshops are due 30 June.
