Apart from a scientific semester programme CWI organizes mini-symposia, masterclasses, lectures with renowned speakers, hackathons and data challenges. Additionally, we organize and host other regular scientific meetings like reading groups, seminars, collaboration sessions and open-problem sessions. The format is flexible to meet the preferences of the participants.

NUM-SCARS Workshop

22 Jan 2026 from 9 a.m. to 23 Jan 2026 2 p.m. | Turing room, Congress Center, Science Park 125

NUM-SCARS (advanced NUmerical Methods for SCAle Resolving Simulations) is the inaugural workshop to mark the official launch of the newly formed ERCOFTAC Special Interest Group - SIG55, which shares its name with the event. The workshop seeks to unite a diverse community of researchers and practitioners, including seasoned experts, early career scientists, PhD students, and industrial partners, to foster momentum, enhance visibility, build a strong collaborative foundation, and pave the way for future events.
