OpenFOAM Italian Workshop: EuroCC Italy announces the 3rd edition in march 2026

EuroCC Italy is delighted to announce the OpenFOAM Italian Workshop, the third gathering organized by the Italian OpenFOAM community, taking place in March 2026. The event aims to bring together Italian OpenFOAM users, foreign researchers engaged with the Italian community, and anyone interested in exploring the capabilities of this open‑source CFD platform. It is free to attend, and over the course of two days, participants will have the opportunity to engage with experts, exchange ideas, and build new connections while delving into current topics in High-Performance Computing (HPC).

The workshop will be hosted at the DAMA Tecnopolo in Bologna, the digital central hub of Emilia-Romagna’s “Data Valley”. This dynamic innovation ecosystem bridges academia, industry, and specialized expertise, offering researchers and professionals a unique environment to discover new talent and spark creativity in designing advanced products and technologies through HPC and AI-driven simulations.

Showcase Your Work to the OpenFOAM Community

When: 3–4 March 2026
Where: Building B4 – DAMA Tecnopolo, Bologna (Via Stalingrado 84/3)
Language: English
Registration closes: January 27th

The workshop invites participants to present their OpenFOAM projects. Contributions may include work in progress, preliminary results, or visually rich content, shared either through a dedicated poster session or a 15-minute presentation slots. This format encourages open, informal exchanges on methods, insights, and practical applications enabled by OpenFOAM.

By taking part in the two-day workshop, attendees will have the chance to:

Deepen their understanding of HPC-related topics.
Explore emerging trends in innovation.
Discuss simulation approaches across academic and industrial domains.
Gain fresh perspectives on cutting-edge simulation technologies.
Expand their professional network.

The workshop will also feature keynote speakers who will share insights into the current developments and future outlook of computational fluid dynamics and OpenFOAM, setting the stage for meaningful discussions and new perspectives.
