Date and Venue / Program / Registration
In this joint workshop, we focus on searching the opportunity for collaborative research between two national institutes, University of Tsukuba and the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) especially on the fields of advanced computational sciences and high performance computing, where both institutes have strong points on these research fields. The Center for Computational Sciences (CCS) of University of Tsukuba is a representative institute in Japan on these fields and jointly hosts the workshop with IISc.
We aim to construct a strong partnership toward the advanced collaboration supported by both institutes to lead the world-class research based on the Japan-India partnership, which is strongly desired to proceed nowadays. In this memorial first joint workshop, we especially focus on five scientific fields; Material Science, Astrophysics, Bioscience, Global Environmental Science, and Computer Science for Supercomputing. We also aim to make a partnership not only between two institutes but also involving industry for supercomputing to spread the collaboration to the real world.
The workshop consists of multiple sessions of flash talks from both CCS and IISc for each scientific fields as well as the overall introduction of the two institutes, followed by special talks from industry, Fujitsu Corporation. In the last part, we discuss on how to proceed with our collaboration among institutes, nations, and academia and industry, in the panel session.
The workshop is open and we welcome any participant who is interested into the topics.
