Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Mathematics ITWMAt this point, we report on current topics, dates and other news directly from the division.
Latest News
Workshops and Seminars
Practical applied research and method development require constant communication with the world of industrial application. This means know-how transfer from the institute to industry as well as feedback from users and calibration of new methods according to their practical relevance.
Of course, this is done in our cooperation projects. But we decided to establish an additional broad and open instrument: Advanced technology courses for engineers in the industry.
We offer the following events at regular intervals:
Conferences
- International Commercial Vehicle Technology Symposium (next date: June 10 – 11, 2026)
- IPS Cable Simulation Conference (next date: t.b.a.)
Chargeable Advanced Training Seminars
- Data Analysis, Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence in Vehicle Development (next date: May 19 – 22, 2026)
- Load Data – Analysis and Simulation (next date will be announced soon)
- Statistical Methods for the Proof of Component Reliability (next date: June 23 – 24, 2026)
Technology Webinars free of charge
- Technology Webinar »Digital Environmental Data for Energy Efficiency and Drivetrain Loads« (next date: t.b.a.)
- Technology Webinar »Digital Environmental Data for ADAS/AD-Development and -Testing« (next date: t.b.a.)
- Technology Webinar »VMC/U·Sim: Digital Environmental Data for Durability Engineering« (next date: t.b.a.)
- Technology Webinar »Jurojin – Statistics for Fatigue Testing and Reliability Analysis« (next date: t.b.a.)
Fairs, Conferences and Symposia
The experts of our department regularly attend trade fairs, conferences and meetings and are speakers at the various events.
Here you can find the current dates:
Streuspanne – Our Blog and Podcast on Statistics
Our mathematicians and statisticians Sascha Feth and Jochen Fiedler present exciting news, fun facts and interesting background knowledge about statistics, mathematics and our tool Jurojin and their work behind it in the blog and podcast »Streuspanne – Statistik und ihre Kuriositäten«.
The Jurojin software can be used to plan and statistically evaluate fatigue tests.
