Development plans for High Performance Computing School at Innopolis University became known.
From 8 to 14 September 2013, the School on High Performance Computing and its Applications to the Problems of Modern Biology and Medicine was held at the Kazan site of the Innopolis University . Fiztech and KBSU took part in the organization of the School. A strong team of partners ensured the highest level of organization of the event, noted by all participants. For the first time this year, the School acquired a federal scale, students came to Kazan from all over Russia: Moscow, St. Petersburg, Orenburg, Chelyabinsk, Ufa, Yoshkar-Ola. In addition to the idle interest in the problems of biotechnology, most students plan to use the materials of the School in their research papers. Thanks to the five-year experience, the organizers managed to balance the workshop and make it as closely related to the theoretical course as possible, which the audience noted especially positively. Practical calculations were carried out remotely on a cluster of the Kabardino-Balkarian State University. H.M. Berbekova (Nalchik). Despite the general recognition of the interestingness of the task set in practice, most rated it as extremely time-consuming and will continue to work on it even after the official closing of the School. Lecturers showed attention to the zeal of the audience, and gladly left personal contacts to continue the work.
Professor of the University of Rome Tor Vergata (University of Rome Tor Vergata) and Director of the BioLink Institute (Director at BioLink Institute) Paolo Di Nardo (Paolo Di Nardo), as a specialist in the field of stem cell and artificial organ biology (Scopus database quotation index - 814 , Hirsch index - 13) was in Kazan for the first time. He expressed interest in collaborating with Innopolis University on an ongoing basis.
Alexey Lobanov, Doctor of Physics and Mathematics, Professor of MIPT, organizer of the School: “We were pleasantly surprised by the level of core knowledge of the current recruitment of students. For the first time, the number of requirements included proficiency in English at a level necessary for the perception of information during lectures by a foreign participant. As practice has shown, such a tightening of students' qualification requirements is fully justified. We plan to continue the practice of holding the School at Innopolis University, including in the direction of applications of high-performance computing to other areas of science. " ')
