Engaging science communities to discuss scientific
grand challenges and the role of scientific computing
ASCR is planning, in partnership with the other Science programs, a series of collaborative meetings, each focusing on the grand challenges of a specific scientific domain and the role for scientific computing in addressing those challenges. The primary goal of these meetings is to engage the relevant scientific communities in a dialogue to identify the opportunities and challenges ahead and the role for scientific computing and multi-disciplinary partnerships.
Each meeting will be limited to approximately 50 technical leaders in the field of extreme scale computing, with a highly focused agenda targeted at identifying ways to overcome the most challenging technical issues and establishing a list of actionable recommendations. Each meeting will produce a report that will be available to the broad scientific community.
Please contact ASCR if additional information is necessary.
