The 2025 CoSeC Annual Conference took place on Wednesday 3 December at Manchester Central Convention Complex, as part of the wider Computing Insight UK Conference.
The conference, now in its fifth year, promoted the research and achievements of the CoSeC communities for the past year. The day began with an introduction by our CoSeC Director, Stephen Longshaw. Collaborators presented on a range of subjects and our 2025 CoSeC Fellows were introduced.
This conference reflects the achievements of the past year and the body of research that addresses the increasingly complex scientific computing challenges that we face today. Images, our agenda and presentation videos can all be viewed below.
A gallery of images from the Conference is available to view on the CoSeC Flickr page.
Recordings of the presentations can be viewed below.
