International Supercomputing Conference ISC 2013 Trailer
After four years in Hamburg, ISC will move to the historic city of Leipzig in 2013. Leipzig has hosted trade fairs since 1165 and has long been a center for culture, learning and research.
Leipzig is an exceptional city as it is a place where tradition meets dynamism and traditional Saxon Gemütlichkeit blends with hightech business. The city has been a source of fascination for tradesmen, entrepreneurs, academics and artists alike. Bach, Schumann, Mendelssohn, Goethe, and Schiller are some of the great personalities closely linked with Leipzig. Besides the musical heritage, Leipzig also offers a multifaceted cultural life, exciting museums, a shopping paradise and a high density of pubs and history at every turn.There are numerous conference hotels, countless event locations available for tasteful evening programs, each with its own distinct style. The University of Leipzig is also one of the oldest in Europe. Goethe, Leibniz and Lessing had once been students of this alma mater.
