-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The School aims to develop a dialogue about the present and future of computational science, and applications of modelling and simulation aiming to solve a wide range of problems of science, industry, and business.
Simulation and systems thinking is one way to explain the complex world in which we live. By collecting data and creating computer models, scientists can make predictions on critical problems, such as how to influence the flow of traffic, how an epidemic will spread, or the probability of individuals in society becoming addicted to drugs. The School will cover topics related to mathematical modelling, high-performance computing, data-driven modelling and simulation, and large scale simulation of complex systems. It offers an ideal range of topics for Master’s students in their final year of study, as well as for beginning PhD students interested in these areas.
