Description |
|
| The first edition of this Conference was held in Trento on December 16-17, 2004 (see www.unitn.it/consci.html ). It had a good international press coverage and good scientific outcomes. The main aim of the second edition of the Conference is to clearly define and discuss the following issues: 1. To address the idea of computer science as enabling technology for biotech and pharma industries and to pursue the idea that computer science can play the same role that mathematics played for physics in the last century. 2. To further stress that the distinction between basic and applied research should be replaced by the notion of targeted and communicative research. 3. To propose in the final session some ideas to solve the issues raised in the main three sectors covered by the Conference: * Industry * Scientific community * Policy making people |
