Dear Colleagues, <br>
<br>
Working Group “Parallel Computing (Supercomputing) Education in Europe:
State-of-Art” within Informatics Europe kindly invites you to take part in
on-line survey devoted to the parallel computing and supercomputing education
in European universities. </span><span lang=EN-US><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='color:windowtext'>Working Group'
primary goals are: <br>
- to show the need for urgent changes in higher education in the area of
computational sciences, <br>
- to compose an overview of the current landscape of parallel computing and
supercomputing education in Europe with respect to different universities and
countries, <br>
- to prepare a set of recommendations how to bring ideas of parallel computing
and supercomputing into higher educational systems of European countries. <br>
<br>
The online-survey is open now, is it available at <br>
<a href="http://www.informatics-europe.org/survey/index.php?sid=62131&lang=en">http://www.informatics-europe.org/survey/index.php?sid=62131&lang=en</a>
<br>
<br>
The most important thing is to fill out online forms with actual information
regarding different universities from different countries. We do hope to your
active assistance. <br>
<br>
Please, describe your universities. Please, ask your colleagues from everywhere
to join us in this activity. It seems to us very important to involve many
people from different regions and/or universities. The more information we get,
the more valuable report will be published by Informatics Europe. A final
report will be available for everyone.<br>
<br>
Online-survey is pretty detailed but you may save and resume forms at any time.
<br>
<br>
We expect to get the most of data until the end of September to be able to
collect statistics for a preliminary report during October. <br>
<br>
If you have any questions do not hesitate to contact us: <br>
