edikt2010 Symposium - Using computing in your research

Wednesday April 28th, 2010

e-Science Institute, 15 South College Street, Edinburgh

A symposium for Scottish researchers to discuss all aspects of research computing – from simulations to Grids and from visualisations to analysis – in a number of scientific disciplines.

Registration is free. Lunch and snacks are provided.

Topics include: chemistry, bioinformatics, neuroscience and mathematics

This event is unique in Scotland. It will bring together Scottish researchers who make heavy use of computer simulations, models or analysis to do research, allowing them to swap ideas and see how other scientists use the resources to maximum benefit.

The day will be arranged into four sessions covering a wide range of computational research including cell biology, computational chemistry, brain imaging, and bioinformatics.

In addition, a poster session will be held in the coffee and lunch breaks.

If you would like to attend this event please apply at http://www.nesc.ac.uk/esi/events/1048/.

Target audience: postdocs, research fellows, etc
