SciComp@Cam: Scientific Computing in Cambridge

Computers form an important part of modern scientific research and there is high flux of new technologies and approaches that continually fuel new developments in this field. There is a large, motivated community of workers in Cambridge who are doing exciting work with advanced computer hardware and software. However the work is organised in different fields and institutions, and interdisciplinary exchange is usually difficult. 

SciComp@Cam has been set up to provide an informal forum for exchange of practical techniques and information between students, faculty and interested professionals and companies outside the University. The aim of the group is to bring together people with an interest in the interdisciplinary development and application of computers in science, and to provide a venue for sharing hands-on approaches to use of computers and application of hardware and software tools in science. Regular meetings are held at the Centre for Mathematical Sciences, and you can find linked web resources, including details of people in Cambridge, forums for exchange of news and information, special interest groups, and details of monthly meetings held by the group.
