Geilo Winter Schools in eScience

SINTEF will organize five annual winter schools in the period 2011-2015. Each winter school will take place at Dr. Holms Hotel in the fourth week of January. The winter school series is a continuation of the previous winter schools in computational mathematics (2001-2006) and in eScience (2007-2010).

The winter schools are planned to follow the format of the first six winter schools. The schools are primarily aimed at graduate, doctoral, and postdoctoral students, but are also open for advanced undergraduate students and senior researchers. For the past ten years, the Geilo winter schools have provided an annual meeting place where young researchers can get updated on new ideas, methods and theories within the eScience field and collaborate and exchange ideas and experience.

Each winter school consists of a series of 24-30 lectures (45 minutes each) and last from Sunday afternoon to Friday lunch. The lectures focus on advanced methods and theories in computational mathematics, statistics, and/or computer science that are relevant to a wide range of applications of national interest. A new topic is chosen each year by a scientific committee.
