Training – network events
Training: industrial partners
• Oracle (formerly SUN)• Microsoft Research• 5 cosmocomp fellows
attended annual Microsoft PhD school in 2011
• Mixture of complementary skills training and computing
Publications – new ones needed!
The future
• Successfully passed mid-term review in 2011• CosmoComp ends 30th November 2013• More workshops + conference/meeting• What next? • New ITN call out: deadline 22nd November 2012• Proposal: ITN based around simulations for
Euclid led, by Romain Teyssier, expanded version of Euclid Cosmological Simulations Working Group.
