CECAM / Psi-k Research Conferences

The call for expressions of interest to organize a CECAM Psi-k Research Conference in 2026 is now open.

The CECAM Psi-k Research Conference is a forum to explore and foster progress in exciting new topics and open questions of interest to different communities in simulation and modeling, rather than another opportunity to showcase consolidated research. The proposed duration and format of the event should reflect this spirit, with ample time set aside for common discussions and informal exchanges. Details of previous CECAM Psi-k Research Conferences can be found below and on the CECAM website.

Submit your expression of interest to organize a CECAM Psi-k Research Conference in 2026 by filling the simple form that can be accessed from https://www.cecam.org/submit-psi-k-proposal.

Deadline for submission of the expression of interest: 5 September 2025

Proposals should focus on research areas of broad and overlapping or mutual interest for CECAM and Psi-k. Key evaluation criteria include diversity (specific expertise in simulation and modelling, geographical, gender, career stage…) among organisers and participants, interdisciplinarity of the topic(s) of the conference, and the inclusion of activities relating to one or more of the following areas: social responsibility, early career researchers, industry engagement, training and education, and policy engagement (see also Psi-k Working Groups in Theme D).

The call for full proposals will be opened at the end of September 2025, with a submission deadline of 31 October 2025.
