Teaching Computational Science
The Teaching Computational Science (WTCS 2025) Workshop will be held as part of the International Conference in Computational Science 2025 in Singapore.
In the context of rapidly growing applications of AI and Quantum Computing and the entrance of the exascale computing systems in the technological landscape, computational scientists and research technical personnel are faced with the pressure to equally rapidly update their skills in order to benefit from the novel developments in technology. The challenge in front of educators from academia and training is to assess which are the core competences and how to expose the community to them in the most efficient way.
The focus of this workshop is to innovation in teaching computational science in its various aspects (e.g. modelling and simulation, high-performance and large-data environments) at all levels and, in all contexts, to support the researchers in their career development through upskilling.
Typical topics include but are not restricted to:
- innovations in course content, curriculum structure, methods of instruction, methods of assessment,
- tools to aid in teaching or learning,
- evaluation of alternative approaches,
- non-academic training in computational sciences.
These may be in the context of formal courses or self-directed learning. They may involve, for example, introductory or more advanced courses, specialist undergraduate or postgraduate topics, professional development, or industry-related short courses.
We welcome submissions directed at issues of current and local importance, as well as topics of international interest. Such topics may include:
- articulation between vocational and university education,
- quality management in teaching,
- development of needed digital and computational research skills,
- attracting and retaining diverse students and workforce,
- flexible learning.
The workshop will be chaired by Nia Alexandrova and Tseden Taddese, STFC Hartree Centre.
