Abstract

In this chapter we review the development of the research program of the National Centre for e-Social Science (NCeSS) funded by the U.K. Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC). We begin by tracing the origins of the Centre, we outline the work-in-progress across the Centre’s emerging research program, and we consider how the Centre contributes to the needs of social science researchers and provides them with opportunities to address key substantive research challenges in new ways. We then turn to the continuing efforts of the NCeSS Hub to develop the Centre’s research agenda and to encourage the wider adoption of e-Social Science. We conclude by reviewing some of the challenges which NCeSS and the research community as a whole must address if the goals of e-Social Science and e-Science are to be realized fully.
