ICCS ExCALIBUR day
The International Conference on Computational Science is an annual event that brings together researchers working in mathematics, computer science, and other application areas. With a focus on work which is pioneering computational methods in sciences such as physics, chemistry, life sciences, and engineering, as well as in arts and humanitarian fields, the overarching objective of ICCS is to discuss problems and solutions in these areas, identify new issues, and shape future directions for research.
Registration is free for ICCS attendees and those attending online, and costs €70 for non-ICCS participants. Registration can be covered for ExCALIBUR attendees who register before the event (free spaces may be limited). You can register here.
For more details, see the event website here.
