Description

The FEniCS 2023 conference is an opportunity for all those interested in the FEniCS Project and related projects to exchange ideas, communicate their results and network with the automated scientific computing community.

We welcome developers, existing and potential users of the FEniCS ecosystem as well as mathematicians, computer scientists and application domain specialists interested in numerical methods, their implementation and applications.

The FEniCS 2023 conference will emphasize an open and inclusive atmosphere, contributed talks from a diverse range of scientific areas, and dedicated time for discussions and coding.

Registration and accommodation

All participants must register for the conference. Registration to the conference and hotel booking are two separate processes, but we suggest to carry them out at the same time.

• The conference has been organised with on site accommodation in mind. Hotel Flamingo Resort **** offers full board accomodation at a special conference rate. Participants may compile this form and send it directly to the hotel. The conference group rate is no longer guaranteed after March 31, 2023, therefore participants are encouraged to proceed with the hotel booking as soon as possible.
• The early bird conference registration fee is 125 €, with deadline March 31, 2023. Afterwards, conference registration fee is 150 €. Participants may compile this form to register. The form includes instructions on how to send the payment, either by bank transfer or on eventbrite. The registration fee is processed by our academic partner network CSGI, Consorzio per lo Sviluppo dei Sistemi a Grande Interfase.

Abstract submission

Call for abstracts is now open. Titles and abstracts for talk may be proposed up to May 14, 2023, but registration (with hotel booking) is strongly recommended by March 31, 2023 since hotel rooms are limited. Conference delegates will be notified if their talk has been accepted. The length of talks will depend on registration numbers, but is expected to be around 15 minutes (plus time for questions). Talking is not a prerequisite for attending: you can register for the conference and attend without talking.

Travel awards

We will offer travel awards for attendees who would otherwise struggle to come to the conference for financial reasons, e.g. junior students and researchers or those working in countries with a less developed research infrastructure. Applicants to the travel award are strongly encouraged to submit an abstract to the conference.

To apply for a travel award, send a letter of motivation, an estimation of travel costs, CV and the conference abstract (if applicable) to Francesco Ballarin. Applications will be assessed by the organizing committee, and all applicants will be notified if their request has been accepted. The cut-off date for applications will be announced in early 2023.

Getting to Pula

The main option for traveling to Sardinia is to fly to the Cagliari Elmas Airport (CAG). Further details on how to reach the conference venue in Pula will be posted in spring 2023.

Code of conduct

We expect all attendees of FEniCS 2023 to follow the FEniCS Project code of conduct. Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be reported by contacting the conference organizers or the FEniCS Steering Council.
