IWR: Scientific Computing for the Sciences

We are the Interdisciplinary Center for Scientific Computing. Our passion, and our mission, is to develop computational methods that enable trail-blazing applications. Our work transcends the boundaries of disciplines or faculties, and bridges scientific cultures from engineering to the humanities. Connect with us to talk science, to learn from us, to let us learn from you, to work with us!
