University of Southampton – UK
The Faculty of Natural and Environmental Science (FNES) is one of the largest and most successful natural and environmental science faculties in the UK, educating a range of professionals and generating research of the highest quality.
Within this the Frey Group operates a “living lab” approach to scientific research and embraces a range of e-science practices and projects.
In parallel computationally based research, the group investigates how e-Science infrastructure can support scientific research with an emphasis on the way appropriate use of laboratory infrastructure can support the intelligent access to scientific data. Previously, within the UK e-Science programme, the CombeChem project (http://www.combechem.org) looked at the ways in which e-Science and Web infrastructure can be developed to provide support for and carry out chemical research.
