Just out on the EPSRC website:

Computational Science and Engineering is increasingly recognised as a vital component of scientific enquiry, alongside experiment and theory. EPSRC’s Research Infrastructure Programme recognises the importance of having the necessary software in place to enable computational science and engineering.

In recent years, EPSRC has been able to increase the level of support available for software development, and intends to continue to build on this. With the advice of advisory committees, we have developed a strategy for software (see below). We would now like to give the computational science and engineering community the opportunity to input on how best to implement this strategy.

We will be holding a one day meeting to discuss priorities for funding in software to enable computational science and engineering in Bristol on 27 October 2009.

Closing date for expressions of interest to attend the Town Meeting: 4pm Friday 11 September 2009
