Advancing Computational Cosmology: The CosmoComp Initial Training Network

The CosmoComp Initial Training Network, funded by the European Commission, commenced on December 1, 2009, with a budget of €4.65 million for 48 months. It aims to enhance computational astrophysics through training for early-stage researchers (<4 years experience) and experienced researchers (<5 years experience). With partners from prestigious institutions across Europe and beyond, CosmoComp focuses on simulations of various scales, code development, and provides extensive training opportunities in collaboration with industrial partners. The project concludes on November 30, 2013, paving the way for future initiatives.

  5. Recruitment CosmoComp started 1/12/2009 – 48 months 570 months Early Stage Researcher funding • 27 months left to allocate • 12 months of these in Shanghai • Combination of 36 month (max) and shorter fellowships • 21 ESR fellows 120 months Experienced Researcher funding • All 120months allocated (two new appointments Nottingham & Sussex, starting soon) • 8 ER fellows

  7. Training – network events

  8. 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

  9. Publications – new ones needed!

  10. 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 RomainTeyssier, expanded version of Euclid Cosmological Simulations Working Group.
