As with previous editions of Computing Insight UK we included a series of parallel breakout sessions that ran alongside the main programme and the exhibition.
Thursday 9 December (10:00-16:00)
CIUK is excited to welcome the first ever CoSeC Annual Conference to Manchester on Thursday 9 December.
Funded by EPSRC, MRC, and BBSRC, CoSeC also provides a hub for exchanging knowledge and expertise through training and outreach. Long-term partnerships and collaborations with universities and other research establishments are at the heart of what CoSeC does. Together, they convey longevity to the software and expertise that, alongside continued advancement of computational hardware and the nurturing of strong collaborations, provide what is necessary for scientific communities to flourish.
The agenda for the conference is currently being finalised and will be added here once the speakers are in place. However, we can confirm that the conference will include sessions on exascale computing, data science and scientific challenges - all from a CoSeC perspective - as well as an overview of CoSeC itself.
Come along on Thursday 9 December to find out more about what CoSeC is, what it does and how it does it.
