Description

Inspired by on-going discussions about plans to establish Community Centres of Excellence within the UKRI DRI, this workshop brings together practitioners, community champions and programme managers from diverse areas of scientific computation in the UK to articulate what we each mean by 'community' and map out what challenges and opportunities may lie ahead.
The morning session will consist of presentations from practitioners representing a broad spread of HPC-based science.
