We would like to invite you to the upcoming Emerging Technology 'EMiT' conference to be held on 30th June and 1st July 2015 at the University of Manchester. EMiT 2015 is a ground-breaking conference on how emerging computational technology is helping to accelerate today’s research, including areas relevant to NERC funded science. With sponsors including Nvidia, Intel, HP, OCF, Polyhedron, STFC, and the EAO Manchester-Liverpool DTP, the aim of EMiT is to bring together leading key figures in the computing communities, the end users of new software & hardware in industry and universities along with the vendors from across the international arena to address the following objectives:

- identify latest trends in hardware development for novel computing;
- share how best to exploit Emerging Tech for application;
- focus on new techniques, their development and transfer to new areas.

Confirmed Keynote speakers:

- Prof. Stephen Furber, "SpiNNaker and Human Brain Project"
- Prof. Laura Grigiori, "Communication avoiding algorithms"
- Dr John Linford, “Kppa: A high performance source code generator for chemical kinetics”
- Dr Filipo Mantonvani, “High Performance Computing based on mobile embedded processors”

The exciting FULL PROGRAMME is available on the website. To attract younger researchers from all current NERC funded DTPs, the first 15 students to register can do so at a reduced price of £100.
