Past events

Every year, eSSENCE is organized by the Swedish e-Science Academy. It is open to anyone interested in e-Science and runs from lunch to lunch. On this page, we have gathered previous events. The Swedish e-Science Academy represents a great opportunity to meet fellow e-scientists to discuss common issues and get inspired.
