In 2025 we began to explore the “Grand Challenges” that the CoSeC communities are facing over the next five to ten years, to help identify the high-level challenges relevant for computational research across UKRI.

Funding was awarded by CoSeC in January 2025 to develop and proliferate the CCP model across research communities within UKRI, creating a strong and stable landscape of communities to support the concept of research computing software as an infrastructure.

This year’s annual conference took place on Wednesday 3rd December at Manchester Central Convention Complex. The official proceedings are now available to download.

CoSeC have awarded the 2025 CoSeC Impact Award to Dr. David Lusher of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) for his exceptional contributions to the scientific community.

We are delighted to announce our CoSeC Fellows for 2025! Each is an ambassador CoSeC, highlighting the benefits of the programme and the CCP model, and making scientists and researchers aware of the world leading activities undertaken through CoSeC’s work.

The CoSeC Community Forum is a bi-annual meeting involving the communities directly involved with the CoSeC programme and is an opportunity to come together to report on recent activities and future opportunities.
