The University of Edinburgh National e-Science Centre and e-Science Institute is a focal point for the international e-Science community to meet, exchange ideas and work on a broad collection of e-Science topics.

NeSC hosts two series of technical reports. One is for local reports, and the other contains submissions from across the UK.
