ARCHER2 training:
Intermediate Modern Fortran.
Online: 27, 29, 31 July 2026, 10:00–16:00 BST
Level: Intermediate
Audience: Software Developers

Fortran retains great significance in many areas of scientific and numerical computing, particularly for applications such as quantum chemistry, plasmas, engineering and fluid dynamics, and in numerical weather prediction and climate models. This course concentrates on some of the more recent features which are central to Modern Fortran. Attendees should be familiar with the basics of Fortran programming.

Quote: "I am delighted to lead the University of Edinburgh's ongoing engagement in the Met Office Academic Partnership. It is testament to our leadership in world-class scientific and high-performance computing and to the importance of our enduring collaboration with the Met Office. I am excited to embark on four more years of cutting-edge research to advance our shared goals in weather forecasting and climate science."

Data cleansing, management, analysis, and visualisation.
Online: 21–24 July 2026, 13:00–16:30 BST
Level: Introductory
Audience: Researchers, Data Scientists, Software Developers

This workshop is aimed at researchers with little to no prior computational experience. Participants will be encouraged to help one another and to apply what they have learned to their own research problems.

This 1.7-gigapixel image of a field of stars in the constellation Lupus showcases the unprecedented view of the Universe that NSF–DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory gives us. Equipped with the LSST Camera — the largest digital camera in the world — Rubin combines a wide view of the sky with the ability to detect extremely faint objects. With this capability, Rubin can reveal details of the cosmos across an enormous range of scales, from distant galaxies, to individual stars, to the wispy clouds of dust spread throughout our galaxy. The faint, glowing clouds spread across this image are galactic cirrus: clouds of interstellar gas and dust that can be seen in the foreground of the Milky Way. Rubin’s ability to capture scenes like this in unmatched detail will open new windows into the structure of our galaxy and the Universe beyond it. Credit: NSF–DOE Vera C.
