Periodic Reporting for period 1 - CompSci (TraCS - Training in Computational Science)
Période du rapport: 2021-08-01 au 2023-07-31
CompSci is a 5-year program with 31 PhD positions of 36 months each in two calls over the program period. The candidates go through an initial intensive training in scientific programming, computational science and data science. The candidates will then apply and develop these skills in a research project in their science discipline – mathematics, bioscience, geoscience, chemistry, materials science, astronomy or physics – in research groups at the University of Oslo. The research groups and supervisors are experienced supervisors on a top international level, have a track record in interdisciplinary research, and integrate computational and disciplinary approaches. This provides the candidates with skills that significantly improve employability and their impact in their field of research, forming a basis for an exceptional career in research or innovation. CompSci is training a cohort of computationally proficient researchers to become Europe’s digital leaders across disciplines and sectors.
The fellows have successfully completed the compulsory initial 20 ECTS training program in computational and data science. The first of three workshops focusing on computational and other transferrable skills have been successfully completed by the fellows.
The fellows have successfully been integrated in their research groups and began their training as independent researchers under supervision of internationally leading interdisciplinary research groups at the University of Oslo.
