Road Map for Memories for Life Research 1 St January , 2008

This proposal seeks to establish a road map of research based around one of UKCRC’s Grand Challenges – Memories for Life (M4L). It has arisen from a number of activities – the topic was highlighted in the OST’s Cognitive Systems Programme, and again in the first Grand Challenges in Computing Workshop held in Edinburgh. An EPSRC Network grant was awarded in 2004 and a number of workshops and meetings have led to the framing of this proposal – culminating in wide circulation to researchers in the UK community. We believe M4L is a challenge that can harness the energies, interest and work of a wide range of scientists and researchers across a range of disciplines. It represents an exciting and important set of research questions.
