Science and Engineering South (SES, previously SES-5) [1] is a consortium of seven public research-intensive universities in the Southeast of England, who pool their resources and facilities [2] to further research in the fields of science and engineering. [3]

Consortium

Its members accounted for a third of all EPSRC spending in 2013, when the consortium was formed. [4] King's College London joined the consortium in 2016, becoming the sixth member institution. [5] By March 2017, Queen Mary University of London had joined the consortium. The University of Cambridge, one of the founder institutions, rejoined in 2019 after leaving in 2017. [6]

SES enables a network of high-performance computers available for research and scientific calculations across all its member universities, such as the 12,000 core IRIDIS Intel Westmere supercomputer cluster. [7]
