Introduction
INSTITUTE FOR SCIENTIFIC COMPUTING
The Institute was founded in March 2023 in the Ceremonial Hall of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences with the participation of over 100 prominent scientists, who are members of leading research institutions and universities in Hungary, representing various fields of scientific computations. Following the preparations, our Association was officially registered in August 2023.
Our aim is to support and promote the development of scientific computations in Hungary and to establish it as a scientific discipline. Through the establishment of the organization, we intend to provide a professional forum, network, and community platform for researchers and developers actively engaged in the field of scientific computations.
We interpret scientific computations in the broadest sense, including scientific data mining, simulation, machine learning, artificial intelligence, and various numerical methods carried out with scientific rigor and precision, as well as their application in the fields of humanities, natural sciences, and social sciences. We consider scientific computations as an independent scientific field that requires expertise in algorithms, mathematics, hardware, software, and the relevant applied sciences.
The Institute is a horizontal organization that seeks to achieve its goals through the voluntary and collaborative efforts of its members working at universities, research institutions, and corporate research centers.
Our Vision
Our goal is to support and promote the development of scientific computations in Hungary and to establish it as a scientific discipline.
Our Mission

Scientific approach, ethical publishing behavior, support for the next generation of researchers, social responsibility.
