Transfer Workshop: ErUM-Scientists & Industry in Dialogue

This is an event organized by the ErUM-Data-H ub, AiNT GmbH and LHC-ErUM-FSP Office, with support from DIG-UM.

This workshop aims to support the transfer of the resulting knowledge from ErUM-research to industry by networking scientists and companies. The long term goal is to carry out joint projects, to identify synergies and provide job opportunities.

Why should you participate?

ErUM scientist: Get to know companies that apply your research topics and technologies. You will benefit from these
contacts through direct exchange with industry, application for research funding in potential joint projects or for future jobs.
Industry: This is your opportunity to present your company and get to know ErUM scientists (machine learning, big data,
digital transformation, future technologies, …). You will also receive information on how to apply for funding for joint projects via ErUM Calls.

KoMSO Academy:
TorchPhysics: Deep Learning for partial differential equations

The Werner von Siemens Center for Industry and Science (Berlin), the Center for Industrial Mathematics (ZeTeM, University of Bremen) and the Committee for Mathematical Modeling, Simulation, and Optimization (KoMSO) are happy to host the second edition of the KoMSO Academy (November 14-15) dedicated to ‘TorchPhysics: Deep Learning for partial differential equations’. The KoMSO Academy aims at offering mathematicians a platform for an exchange on novel mathematical concepts relevant for industrial applications. Deep Learning concepts for PDEs are booming and everybody working in this area is confronted with the challenge to decide on suitable architectures and concepts for tackling the respective problems. Hence, our present workshop aims at providing an overview on recent developments for deep learning concepts as well as dedicating substantial hours for training sessions with hands-on examples.

"Democratizing Models" Workshop

Discussion of the plans for upcoming ErUM Data call (November 25-26)

Pitch: Scientific progress often stalls when models remain inaccessible or unreproducible after publication. "Democratizing Models" introduces an AI-driven platform with three core pillars: a standardized model format for human-readable serialization, a sharing portal for open accessibility, and an AI-driven encoding interface to simplify model preparation and reuse. Pushed forward by an interdisciplinary consortium, the project tackles great challenges across a diverse range of applications, from enabling proper presentation of systematic and model uncertainties to breaking down complex nested models. This initiative paves the way for wide collaboration and innovation across disciplines.

PUNCH4NFDI Community and User Meeting 2024

The PUNCH4NFDI consortium is inviting members of our communities to a half-day of presentations and discussions on FAIR data management in particle, astroparticle, hadron&nuclear physics, and astronomy (November 28). You will hear presentations and participate in discussions on data management, FAIR principles, FAIRification of metadata, data and workflows, analysis platforms, user requests, etc., and in particular on the relevant PUNCH4NFDI solutions and suggestions.

23rd International Workshop on Advanced Computing and Analysis Techniques in Physics Research: AI meets Reality (ACAT 2025)

The 23rd International Workshop on Advanced Computing and Analysis Techniques in Physics Research (ACAT 2025) will take place between Monday 8th and Friday 12th September, 2025 at the University of Hamburg downtown campus. ACAT 2025 will be jointly organised by DESY and the University of Hamburg.

The 23rd edition of ACAT will — once again — bring together computational experts from a wide range of disciplines, including particle-, nuclear-, astro-, and accelerator-physics as well as high performance computing. Through this unique forum, we will explore the areas where these disciplines overlap with computer science, fostering the exchange of ideas related to cutting-edge computing, data-analysis, and theoretical-calculation technologies.

internationale Events & Infos

Here you can find information on international efforts for digital transformation in basic research.

The JENAA site was established after the Joint ECFA-NuPECC-APPEC Seminar (JENAS) at Orsay, that allowed astroparticle, nuclear and particle physics researchers to peek into each other’s activities. The identified
overlapping challenges might transform via joint programs into stronger opportunities to further our understanding of both the smallest and the largest structures in nature.

Past Events:

European AI for Fundamental Physics Conference - EuCAIFCon

The first „European AI for Fundamental Physics Conference“ (EuCAIFCon) was held in Amsterdam, from 30 April to 3 May 2024. The aim of this event was to provide a platform for establishing new connections between AI activities across various branches of fundamental physics, by bringing together reserachers that face similar challenges and/or use similar AI solutions. The conference was organized „horizontally“: sessions were centered on specific AI methods and themes, while being cross-disciplinary regarding the scientific questions.

JENA Computing Workshop

The first JENA Computing Workshop was held on June 12 – 14, 2023, in Bologna.

Continued discussion led to the Executive Summary and next steps, featuring the formation of five Working Groups described in the document including the possibility to sign up – see below.

Working Groups

The mandate from the 3 ENA Chairs for the Working Groups can be found here.

JENA Symposium

At the JENA Symposium in May 2022 in Madrid, both the plenary presentations and the closed session of funding agency representatives revealed that there is an increased need for discussions on the strategy and implementation of European federated computing at future large-scale research facilities.

The status, needs and plans on a European level for large infrastructures are diverse and not coherent, e.g.,

In particle physics the concept for HL-LHC computing is being discussed, in particular how the WLCG concept can be adapted to cope with the increased demands
in nuclear physics the computing is currently organized mainly facility based and the community has limited access to the national computing centers
in astroparticle physics various totally different computing models for the distributed large-scale infrastructures exist

For all these research areas, issues of scaling will be the challenge of the next decade. Within JENA, synergies and commonalities will be of utmost importance in this scaling.
