The modeling and simulation event of the year will return to Europe in October.

BURLINGTON, MA (April 22, 2024) — The COMSOL Conference 2024 tour will make a stop in Florence, Italy, on October 22–24. The COMSOL Conference provides a space for engineers, scientists, and researchers to showcase their modeling and simulation work, exchange ideas, and learn new modeling techniques.

Program highlights of the 2024 event:

• Keynote talks by industry leaders
• Interactive poster and slideshow presentations by engineers and researchers from different fields
• Minicourses that cover using the COMSOL Multiphysics^® software and its add-on products
• Demo stations where attendees can receive 1-on-1 guidance from COMSOL applications engineers
• Awards ceremony

The COMSOL Multiphysics^® modeling and simulation software is used in industry, government, and academia for creating physics-based models and standalone simulation apps to support R&D and innovation efforts. At the conference, attendees gather to discuss the software's wide range of uses and learn modeling best practices from each other and COMSOL staff.

“We are looking forward to meeting colleagues from industry and academia in one of the most beautiful cities in the world," said Giuseppe Petrone, CEO of BE CAE & Test. "We are proud to support the conference as a platinum sponsor because it presents a special opportunity to share with other COMSOL users our passion for multiphysics modeling and simulation apps.”

Fostering knowledge exchange between COMSOL engineers, keynote speakers, poster and slideshow presenters, and attendees is a top priority of the conference. "The intention of the COMSOL Conference has always been to provide simulation users with the opportunity to share their experiences, connect, and gain a deeper understanding of simulation," said Paolo Caronna, program chair of the COMSOL Conference 2024 Florence. "The conference is being held at the Teatro del Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, so we are also hoping to offer an environment where art and music will blend with technological innovation and inspire new ideas."

The Teatro del Maggio Musicale Fiorentino is well known across Italy for hosting international musical and cultural events. At the conference, attendees will gather in different areas of the theater for the various sessions and can attend keynote talks held in one of the performance halls.

Showcase Your Work

For those interested in showcasing their simulation work through a poster or slideshow presentation at the conference, the program committee is accepting abstracts through July 12, 2024. To learn more about the presentation options and deadlines and submit an abstract, visit the Showcase Your Work page on the conference website.

All accepted submissions will be considered for the COMSOL Conference Best Paper and Best Poster awards. After the live event, accepted works are published in the online collection on the COMSOL website.
