About

COMPUTE is a research school with a focus on scientific discovery using computing, but in the widest sense, meaning any research using digital tools or e-Science for short.

COMPUTE brings together partners from several different departments at Lund University. The common theme for the activities of all these partners is the use of e-Science in driving research forward. Problems span all length scales from the microscopically small to the astronomically large and from pure basic research to applications of direct relevance for the challenges facing society today.

COMPUTE started 2012 as a research school within the Faculty of Science at Lund University. Since 2020 COMPUTE is also receiving funding from the Faculty of Medicine and from LTH, the Faculty of Engineering.

Activities

Development of courses

COMPUTE develops new PhD level courses. The new courses are targeted at students with diverse backgrounds from a large number of partner departments. Course development is compensated by COMPUTE to the home department of the lecturers. If you have an idea for a new course, please contact the study directors.

Provision of PhD-level courses

COMPUTE provides several PhD-level courses each year. Successful participants receive Ladok credit.

Careers events and seasonal workshops

COMPUTE organises two seasonal workshops per year. These workshops combine one or more of career advise, general interest topics in computational science and generic, transferable skills training. The workshops also facilitate networking among PhD students and COMPUTE associates.

COMPUTE environment events

These are short seminar style events of approximately 2 hours. They aim to form an environment for our members. The individual events focus on a particular topic in computational science.
