NAISS User Forum 2025
When: 21-22 October, lunch to lunch
Where: Chalmers Conference Centre, Gothenburg (room RunAn)
How: Hybrid (Zoom links will be sent out by mail to remote participants)
This is our annual User Forum, open to all current and prospective NAISS users.
Building on the success of the first two NAISS User Forums, we invite you to participate in a forward-looking meeting focused on AI, machine learning methods, and the upcoming Arrhenius and Mimer AI factory systems.
Paul Erhart, professor at Chalmers and chair of NAISS’s National Allocations Committee, will deliver the keynote speech on how machine learning can be used to accelerate advanced simulations.
A sure highlight is meeting and listening to other users from different fields who will present their research and tell how they are using NAISS resources. In the evening you are invited to have a look at our Alvis system.
Throughout the conference there will be a booth with experienced NAISS application experts and other staff. They are happy to help you with specific issues and inform you about our resources, as well as the support and training that we offer. This is an excellent opportunity to provide feedback and voice community needs.
