The annual assembly 2026 will take place as a three-day meeting on 9 – 11 March in Würzburg.
The meeting is the annual gathering of all members and associated researchers of our research unit as well as of selected experts external to the research unit. Participants will have the opportunity to present their research topics, their numerical, computational or analytical techniques, their barriers and obstacles to progress, current difficulties and immediate problems as well as their near-future goals. There will also be ample space to discuss conceptual models, recent findings up to now, as well as to plan future starting points of research. We will gain insight about different approaches, about solution finding and we will especially plan future collaborations and potential synergies and enrich our colleagues’ work with fruitful hints.
To empower scientists belonging to under-represented groups and to advance towards family friendliness and a healthy work-life balance, a dedicated workshop will take place during sessions spread over the annual assembly.
