Hello!
SciPy 2018, the 17th annual Scientific Computing with Python conference,
will be held July 9-15 in Austin, Texas. The annual SciPy Conference brings
together over 700 participants from industry, academia, and government to
showcase their latest projects, learn from skilled users and developers,
and collaborate on code development. The Proceedings of the Python in
Science Conference, the journal covering SciPy submissions, is also
available to publish submissions from academic contributors. The call for
abstracts for SciPy 2018 for talks, posters, and tutorials is now open.
Talks & Posters (July 11-13, 2018)
In addition to general talks, there are specific tracks which include:
Data Visualization
Reproducibility and Software Sustainability
Astronomy
Biology and Bioinformatics
Data Science
Earth, Ocean and Geoscience
Image Processing
Language Interoperability
Library Science and Digital Humanities
Machine Learning
Materials Science
Political and Social Sciences
SciPy Tools plenary session
Tutorials (July 9-10, 2018)
Tutorials should be focused on covering a well-defined topic in a hands-on
manner. We are looking for awesome techniques or packages, helping new or
advanced python programmers develop better or faster scientific
applications. We encourage submissions to be designed to allow at least 50%
of the time for hands-on exercises, even if this means the subject matter
needs to be limited. Tutorials will be 4 hours in duration. In your
tutorial application, you can indicate what prerequisite skills and
knowledge will be needed for your tutorial, and the approximate expected
level of knowledge of your students (i.e. beginner, intermediate,
advanced). Instructors of accepted tutorials will receive a stipend.
For Examples of content and format, you can refer to tutorials from past
SciPy tutorial sessions (SciPy2017
