At SPIE Photonics West 2026, participants can expect a wide range of exciting topics revolving around lasers, biomedical optics, optoelectronics, and technologies for biophotonic, quantum, and image processing applications. Our colleague Georg von Freymann, Head of the »Materials Characterization and Testing« department, will be chairing plenary speeches on January 19, 2026.

E-world Energy and Water is the industry meeting place for the European energy sector. International companies present sustainable technologies, smart services, and approaches for achieving climate targets. E-world focuses on innovative solutions for the energy supply of the future—from generation, transport, and storage to trading, efficiency, and green technologies.

Die Maintenance in Dortmund ist die Leitmesse für industrielle Instandhaltung, auf der jährlich Expert:innen und Unternehmen aus diversen Branchen zusammenfinden, um Innovationen und Trends kennenzulernen. Forschende aus den Schwerpunkten »Dynamik, Lasten und Umgebungsdaten« sind vor Ort und stellen spannende Themen vor.

Participants gain an overview of the key concepts, technologies, and business applications of Quantum Computing, along with insights into the current state of the development of quantum software and quantum hardware and future trends.

The workshop offers science and industry the opportunity to exchange knowledge and experience in the field of terahertz technology. The potential of the technology for analysis, testing and measurement tasks has been impressively demonstrated for various applications in recent years. However, there are still some challenges to be overcome before it can be used in industry.

The Tire Technology Expo is the leading European conference and trade fair for tire manufacturing technologies. Our colleagues from the »Mathematics for Vehicles, Systems and Equipment« department are representing our institute at the event.

The JEC World trade fair brings together companies, start-ups and experts in the field of composite materials. Participants can find out about applications in various industries and expand their networks. Experts of the Fraunhofer ITWM presents the exhibit »Zerstörungsfreie Prüfung von Verbundwerkstoffen« (Non-destructive Testing of Composite Materials) at the Fraunhofer joint booth 5L142.

At the Conference on Mathematical Life Sciences, interested parties can exchange ideas with experts from the field of mathematical life sciences. Our expert Marvin Schulte presents a lecture entitled »The Influence of the Mutation Process on the Long-Term Behavior of Infectious Diseases«.

MESHFREE can be used to simulate a variety of situations as it efficiently adapts to moving geometry elements such as agitators of mixing devices or the movement of free surfaces. In the training we give an overview of the tool and show how the software can best support your requirements.

The symposium is dedicated to the key aspects of mobility change as an information and communication platform. Our experts Dr. Johannes Schwank and Jürgen Frank from the division of »Mathematics for Vehicle Engineering« are there. Jürgen Frank gives a presentation at the »EVALUATION« session entitled »Environmental Data Instead of Arbitrariness and Randomness: Procedural Creation of Realistic Virtual Test Environments for Testing and Validating ADAS/AD-Components«.
