This summer, we are organizing an on-site COMSOL User Meeting at KIT. The meeting has been rescheduled to September 1, 2026.
 
The proposed topics for the meeting include:
 
Presentations by COMSOL users:
Participants are invited to present their scientific work carried out using COMSOL (approximately 15 minutes per presentation).
 
Presentations by COMSOL:
Introduction to COMSOL Multiphysics 6.4 Structural Mechanics (including explicit solvers) Model Manager  
The meeting will also provide an opportunity to discuss challenges, ask questions, and exchange feedback directly with COMSOL.
Please register by August 21, 2026 to confirm your participation. If you would like to present your scientific work using COMSOL, please provide the title of your presentation. If you are not yet sure about the topic, you may simply write “Later” in the corresponding field.
 
Here is the registration link: https://indico.kit.edu/event/5502/
 

A close exchange with users is essential for the further development of the NHR@KIT services and infrastructures. For this reason, a new series of events has been launched, where operators and users can meet and exchange ideas in an informal setting: HPC Café.
 
In addition to our established contact channels and training courses, we offer the HPC Café at regular intervals.
 
The event will take place from 10 am to 12 pm with a keynote speech, which will be followed by a discussion.
 

Keynote speech topic: Easybuild - or how to use modules and own modules on bwUniCluster 3.0 and HoreKa 2
 
Of course, a question and answer session is also planned. Here, users can address HPC-related topics and problems. We will try to find solutions together.
 
Would you like a presentation on a specific topic? Please let us know. --> office@nhr.kit.edu
 
Over coffee and cookies, the topics raised can be discussed in greater depth.
 
Please register on Indico event page in order to attend.
 
We look forward to seeing you there and hope for a lively participation!

located at Universitätsstraße 10, 78457 Konstanz. 

This year, the event promises an engaging and diverse program with talks, poster sessions, and opportunities for collaboration and discussion.

Organized and hosted by the University of Konstanz, the symposium offers a unique opportunity for dialog between scientific users, bwHPC services operators and support centers. It focuses on presenting scientific projects and success stories enabled by bwHPC high-performance computing, especially within the BaWü data federation. This year's event marks the first symposium in Phase 4, showcasing bwHPC's ongoing commitment to advancing research through shared infrastructure, services, and community engagement.

The symposium will feature multiple ways to participate actively:

- Talks (about 15 minutes)
- Poster Sessions

We invite interested participants to submit a 500-word abstract. Selected abstracts will be invited to develop short papers for inclusion in the conference proceedings, published online via Konstanz KOPS. All contributions will undergo a peer review. For detailed submission tracks and abstract templates, refer to the https://indico.kit.edu/event/5505/overview.

Key Dates to Remember:
Abstract Submission Deadline: August 3, 2026 Notification of Acceptance: August 18, 2026 Registration Deadline: September 14, 2026

Für die partnerschaftliche Zusammenarbeit im Bereich der Informationsverarbeitung wurden dem zentralen IT-Dienstleister SCC in der Vergangenheit sogenannte IT-Beauftragte bzw. IT-Koordinatoren benannt.
Hierzu findet zweimal im Jahr eine Informationsveranstaltung für alle benannten IT-Beauftragen statt.
