If you're already a recognised community builder and an expert communicator with a passion for science and more than a touch of computing geek in you, we're keen to hear from you. In NeSI we aspire to work closely with the community to ensure researchers, institutions, government officials, and the wider public are aware of NeSI activities, outputs, outcomes and aspirations, and most importantly that our researchers understand the support available to meet their most demanding computational research, science, and engineering needs.

NeSI Launch

Submitted by nick on Fri, 24/06/2011 - 12:52

NeSI, the NZ eScience Infrastructure, is being launched in Auckland this afternoon by Minister Dr. Wayne Mapp. Over the last 2 to 3 years the research sector has joined together and developed a shared vision and joint investment model alongside government to invest in an HPC network for research. The network will be hosted by The University of Auckland and manage services at four nodes located at AgResearch, Auckland, Canterbury, and NIWA. The HPC network will support the research sector in undertaking computationally and data intensive research and industrial research.

For more information review yesterday's Science Media Centre briefing organised by John Kerr with key members of NeSI, Acting Director Nick Jones, Prof. Mark Gahegan, Prof. Tim David.:
