New Zealand eResearch Symposium

eResearch encompasses all of the research computing that supports a research community. It crosses research disciplines, from the humanities and social sciences, physical and biological sciences, to math and engineering. It includes the computing and software platforms that connect equipment, data, and other computing resources with people, along with collections management, platforms to run experiments, and advanced collaboration tools. eResearch communities thrive on deep engagement with researchers, and aim to support the formation and operation of effective digitally-supported research communities.

Our NZ eResearch Symposium is a broad forum for NZ's research sector and nascent eResearch community. This is an opportunity to meet leaders of eResearch initiatives within NZ and internationally, and to hear about emerging practice, and to share experiences.
