HITS Annual Report 2017 released!
The HITS Annual Report 2017 has been released. In this report, you will find research highlights from 2017 that range from decoding of the genome of the Axolotl salamander to the most complete simulation of the universe ever performed.
Besides the manifold outreach activities of the “HITSters”, we were also involved in a special event in 2017: Ten years after the first Alumni meeting took place in Villa Bosch, HITS invited its former members and those of its predecessors, EML Research and EML. The emphasis was on interactions between alumni and current HITSters, and it proved to be very successful: more than 100 people attended the meeting.
We hope you will enjoy reading the report!
About HITS
HITS, the Heidelberg Institute for Theoretical Studies, was established in 2010 by physicist and SAP co-founder Klaus Tschira (1940-2015) and the Klaus Tschira Foundation as a private, non-profit research institute. HITS conducts basic research in the natural, mathematical, and computer sciences. Major research directions include complex simulations across scales, making sense of data, and enabling science via computational research. Application areas range from molecular biology to astrophysics. An essential characteristic of the Institute is interdisciplinarity, implemented in numerous cross-group and cross-disciplinary projects. The base funding of HITS is provided by the Klaus Tschira Foundation.
