January 25, 2017 - By Kim Delker

Students, faculty, and staff are invited to participate in a University of New Mexico/Los Alamos National Laboratory computational symposium at The University of New Mexico on Jan. 31.

The symposium, which will be held from 1 to 4 p.m. in the UNM Student Union Building, Rooms Santa Ana A/B, will explore ways to enhance collaboration between Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) and UNM in the areas of computational science, high-performance computing, and business support.

The symposium will include a brief introduction to the opportunities for collaboration in these areas by UNM and LANL leadership, followed by a panel of LANL and UNM faculty and staff presenting and discussing their experiences, successes, and challenges in such collaborations. An informal reception for additional discussions will follow the meeting.

Those interested are asked to RSVP.
