NIC Symposium 2025
NIC Symposium 2025
6-7 March 2025
Forschungszentrum Jülich
John von Neumann Institute for Computing
The 12th NIC Symposium gives an overview of the activities of the John von Neumann Institute for Computing (NIC) and of the results obtained in the last two years by research groups supported by the NIC.
The NIC is a joint foundation of the three Helmholtz Centres Forschungszentrum Jülich, Deutsches Elektronensynchrotron DESY, and GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung as well as the Goethe University Frankfurt. The NIC has been a longstanding supporter of computational science in Germany and Europe. Currently, it supports approximately 180 research groups at universities and national laboratories, facilitating computer simulations across various scientific fields.
Invited lectures cover selected topics in the following fields:
- Astrophysics
- Biophysics
- Chemistry
- Elementary Particle Physics
- Theoretical Condensed Matter
- Materials Science
- Soft Matter Science
- Earth and Environment
- Fluid Mechanics and Engineering
- Plasma Physics and Charged Particle Physics
- Computer Science and Numerical Mathematics
The talks are intended to inform a broad audience of scientists and the interested public about the research activities at NIC. The accompanying symposium proceedings cover a range of topics even wider than provided by the talks.
