International Research and Education: Opportunities and Challenges -- Clayton

Published: 2 July 2008

This seminar discusses how investments in networking and subsequently in other aspects of cyberinfrastructure by governments, academia, and industry, have created opportunities to address new scales of questions, to create new teams and organisations to tackle those questions, and to provide new experiences for students during their education. The Pacific Rim Application and Grid Middleware Assembly (PRAGMA), established in 2002, took advantage of these opportunities early to build sustained collaborations and to advance the use of grid technologies.

This talk highlights the experiences of PRAGMA, and related activities in creating a test bed for avian flu virtual screening; networks for lake and coral reef observing, GLEON and CREON respectively, and a framework, PRIME, for educational experiences via specific projects.
