Core Staff - changes A further 2 trainers/software developers (funded from EGEE and eSTT) have been appointed – Dr Sara Collins and Dr Boon Low... We are looking for a new book-keeper again. We have appointed an outreach interface administrator Alison McCall with funding from DCC and EGEE, to support those activities. We have appointed a new receptionist on a short term contract – Yvonne Anderson

Financing of Staff Phase 2 Years Fewer staff but delivering the same high quality and level of service to the UK e-Science community …
