Producing a new generation of highly computational natural scientists and tool builders able to apply novel approaches to tackle fundamental problems in natural science.

About 2020 Science

The emphasis of the 2020 Science programme is on producing a new generation of highly computational natural scientists and tool builders able to apply novel approaches to tackle fundamental problems in natural science. The scientific remit of the programme is broad, covering a wide range of challenging problems in the computational modelling of naturally occurring systems, spanning biology and medicine and ranging from molecules to systems to organisms to ecosystems, and the interaction of each with their environment (from extracellular environments at the molecular level to anthropogenic and earth system environments at the global scale).

Behaviour of seabirds during migration revealed by new ethoinformatics methods

The behaviour of seabirds during migration – including patterns of foraging, rest and flight – has been revealed in new detail using novel computational analyses and tracking technologies. The first author of the study is Dr Robin Freeman of the 2020 Science programme.  

Upcoming Events

Computational Life and Medical Sciences Network Annual Symposium

Friday, 28 June 2013 - 9:00am - 6:30pm

Sponsored by CLMS and the Crick Institute, the CLMS Symposium is a one-day event showcasing the role of information technology, including computer and computational sciences, across the broad range of life and medical (basic and clinical) sciences. The diverse programme aims to highlight to researchers across UCL, UCL Partners and the Crick the breadth of multi-disciplinary research currently being undertaken in the fields of computational life and medical sciences and to illustrate the value of collaboration across these fields.
