eScience Data Information & Knowledge Transformation
The purpose of the meeting is for edikt2 participants to share information about the technical aspects of the various activities being funded through edikt2. The meeting is also open to other interested parties around the University and beyond.
Location:
Rm 6301, James Clerk Maxwell Building, Kings Buildings
This meeting is intended to to bring together Scottish researchers who make heavy use of computational techniques, such as simulation, modelling or analysis to do research. This will allow the exchange of ideas and see how other scientists use resources to maximum benefit. There is no similar activity in Scotland.
Location:
e-Science Institute, 15 South College Street, Edinburgh, UK
Science is witnessing a data revolution. Data are now created by faster and cheaper physical technologies, software tools and digital collaborations. Examples of these include satellite networks, simulation models and social network data. To transform these data successfully into information then into knowledge and finally into wisdom, we need new forms of computational thinking. These may be enabled by building "instruments" that make data comprehensible for the "naked mind" in a similar fashion to the way in which telescopes reveal the universe to the naked eye.

edikt produces new knowledge by using computational science to extract information from vast datasets, and generate models through simulation. Researchers at the University of Edinburgh can get access to a range of computational resources.
