About SeRC
The Swedish e-Science Research Centre (SeRC) is formed by the universities Kungliga Tekniska högskolan (KTH), Stockholms universitet (SU) and Karolinska institutet (KI) and Linköpings universitet (LiU) around the two largest high performance computing centers in Sweden, the National Supercomputer Centre (NSC) at LiU and PDC at KTH.
This strategic research area (SRA) funded by Vetenskapsrådet (VR) brings together a core of nationally leading IT research teams (tool makers) and leading scientists in selected strategic application areas focusing on:
1. Formation of e-Science communities that connect application groups with relevant core e-Science groups and computer experts at PDC and NSC.
2. Research in core e-Science methods.
3. Much closer collaboration between PDC/NSC, and a substantial increase in advanced support staff, which will turn the centers into comprehensive e-Science enablers.
Other e-Science centers in Sweden is eSSENCE and the e-Science Centre at Chalmers.
