This free workshop is part of the EVA Conference held in London on the 11th July at the London School of Communication in Elephant and Castle.

This proposal is led by JISC (www.jisc.ac.uk) and the Arts & Humanities e-Science Support Centre (AHeSSC � www.ahessc.ac.uk ) to profile and encourage discussion around the creative and research uses of e-Science tools and methods in the Arts & Humanities within the UK.

Within this context, e-Science is defined as a specific set of advanced technologies for collaboration and sharing resources across highly distributed network environments: so-called grid technologies, and technologies integrated with them, for instance for data-mining, simulation and visualization.

The half day workshop will be comprised of several thematic areas which will focus on how the take-up of e-Science is developing new areas of research in the Arts & Humanities community, including the performing arts and humanities research.

There will be three plenary sessions to introduce key topics and provide contextual background information to a variety of work being undertaken. A set of presentations will further offer demonstrative examples of activity by projects funded by JISC, AHRC and EPSRC under the e-Science �umbrella�.

The outcomes of the workshop will contribute directly to a special issue in the Digital Humanities Quarterly, and a THES themed article (link).
