Computational Science Curricula

ASG 2025-2026

How do we shape higher education for a world driven by computational methods? As computational science becomes essential across disciplines, we need to rethink how we design, structure, and support education in this rapidly evolving interdisciplinary field.

Computational science is an exciting, interdisciplinary field that uses advanced computational methods to solve big research challenges. The Advanced Study Group Computational Science Curricula want to create a roadmap for research and education in this field, highlighting key ideas, latest techniques, and best practices. 

The ASG will articulate relevant educational research questions that can drive pedagogical innovation and shape curriculum development for higher education in computational science. 

As computational science is used in so many different areas, it can be challenging to define what should be included in a university curriculum. The group aims to identify core curricula elements and find the best ways to teach them, helping educators and students develop innovative, inclusive, and future-ready programs in computational science.
