Oxford e-Research Centre

Oxford e-Research Centre is part of the University of Oxford[1] in England and specialises in e-Research – the use of information technology to support existing and new forms of research across a wide range of disciplines.

The Centre was founded in 2006[2] and focuses on multidisciplinary projects, bringing together researchers from across Oxford University and beyond. It is home to over 50 researchers. Disciplines the Centre is involved in are as diverse as musicology and astronomy, including international collaborations such as the Square Kilometre Array.[3]

The Centre focuses on the use of computational technology and infrastructure to enable researchers to answer complex questions faster than would be possible using traditional research methods.

The Centre is headed by its Director Professor David De Roure.
