Strategies and Policies to Support and Advance Education in e-Science

by Malcolm Atkinson, Elizabeth Vander Meer, David Fergusson, Clive Davenhall, and Hamza Mehammed

In previous installments of this series, we’ve presented tools and resources that university undergraduate and graduate environments must provide to allow for the continued development and success of e-Science education. We’ve introduced related summer and winter schools and important issues such as t-Infrastructure provision, intellectual property rights in the context of digital repositories, and curriculum content. We conclude now with an overview of areas in which we must focus effort and strategies and policies that could provide much-needed support in these areas.
