The White Rose Grid (WRG)  e-Science Centre brings together those researchers from the Yorkshire region who are engaged in e-Science activities and through these in the development of Grid technology. The initiative focuses on building, expanding and exploiting the emerging IT infrastructure, the Grid, which employs many components to create a collaborative environment for research computing in the region.

e-Science Challenges and Perspectives
The White Rose Grid project operates under the auspices of the White Rose University Consortium,  which is an affiliation of the three Yorkshire Universities of Leeds, York and Sheffield. This is a collaborative venture between the White Rose Universities and our IT partners: Esteem Systems, Sun Microsystems, and Streamline Computing.

The Yorkshire and Humber Development Agency, Yorkshire Forward, is enabling us to expand our activities into the region and engage research universities and companies in e-Science.

The project has also received funding from the  UK e-Science Core Programme,  Esteem Systems, and the White Rose Universities.
