This ePLAN workshop on Computational Science brings together experts from a wide variety of academic disciplines as well as from the national digital infrastructure and the High Performance Computing scene. There will be various presentations and discussions on the state-of-the-art in the field. Modelling and computational data science is addressed in the fields of astronomy, chemistry, sociology and hydrology. The program also includes presentations about national and international High Performance Computing facilities and initiatives (SURF, PRACE, EuroHPC). Also ideas for community building on Computational Research will be discussed.

Target audience: researchers, Computational Science experts and policy makers.
Registration: please register (free) using the Registration button on the top-right of this page, before March 27.
