COMPUTE research school

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 institutions. Course-development is fully compensated by COMPUTE to the home department of the lecturers.

Teaching of courses: COMPUTE provides three to four PhD-level courses each year.

Seminar speakers: We host a number of seminar speakers each year. COMPUTE seminars broadly focus on scientific results obtained using computational methods.

Careers events and alumni network COMPUTE organises careers events of particular relevence to COMPUTE PhD students. We are in the process of setting up an alumni network to facilitate exchange between COMPUTE graduates and current members.

Annual retreat and winter meeting: The COMPUTE initiative involves an annual summer retreat for PhD students, partners, supervisors and invited lecturers, which focusses on skills development. COMPUTE also organizes an annual winter meeting in Lund.
