Computational Physics workshops

Connect numerical approaches to classical and quantum initial-boundary-value problems. The workshop examines deterministic wave propagation, fluid dynamics and general relativity alongside fluctuating quantum fields and hydrodynamics. Invited perspectives and contributed talks explore shared modelling challenges, including symmetry-preserving and mimetic discretisation, summation-by-parts methods, action-based formulations, lattice field theory, stochastic partial differential equations and quantum computing. Researchers in theoretical physics and applied mathematics will compare methods and identify opportunities for collaboration across these neighbouring fields. 19 November 2026 at 09:00 through 21 November at 17:00, Asia/Seoul (KST, UTC+9). Participant registration closes on 8 November 2026 and requires an Indico account. Capacity is 70. Contributed abstracts are due 25 October.

Explore whether the physics of glass and jamming transitions can provide shared principles for complex matter, from amorphous solids and granular flows to living systems. The programme combines theoretical, experimental and computational approaches to nonequilibrium dynamics, structural disorder and collective behaviour. Discussions connect soft and active matter with biological processes and medical challenges, seeking research directions that cross the boundaries between physics, chemistry, materials and medicine. 14 December at 10:15 to 18 December at 12:40; Asia/Tokyo (JST, UTC+09:00). Attendance-only registration is due 30 November. Poster proposals are due 31 October, subject to capacity; oral submission and banquet booking have closed. An Indico account is required, with new accounts approved during Japanese weekday office hours.

A graduate school and research workshop examine water from molecular to planetary scales. The programme connects hydrogen bonding and quantum effects with collective dynamics, interfaces, biological function, extreme conditions and atmospheric water. Participants study first-principles simulations, machine-learned potentials and multiscale modelling. The first week provides foundational training; the second features current research, discussions and posters. Applicants should have grounding in statistical mechanics, quantum mechanics and molecular simulation or related computation. Graduate students, postdocs and early-career faculty are the main audience, with limited consideration of senior undergraduates. ICTS provides accommodation for outstation participants.

This workshop connects observations of young galaxies and large-scale structure with cosmological simulations. JWST, ALMA and wide-field surveys motivate discussion of early galaxy populations, gas and dust, reionization, protoclusters and their environments. Optical spectroscopy adds constraints on circumgalactic gas and chemical enrichment. Participants will compare theoretical predictions with observations to understand how the cosmic web and baryonic matter evolve together. Abstract and initial registration submissions close on 4 December 2026; final registration and fee payment close on 28 February 2027.
