The aim of this event is to bring together experts from the fields of tire model development, tyre measurement and driving simulation to exchange ideas and present the latest results. The event takes place every six years.

The VIMS Symposium (Visually Induced Motion Sensations) is a scientific event that deals with visually induced motion sensations and related complaints such as motion sickness (e.g., VR/cyber sickness or simulator sickness). Our expert Dr. René Reinhard from the »Mathematics for Vehicles, Systems, and Production« presents a paper entitled »Correlations of Motion Cueing Approaches and Motion Sickness Symptoms – An Interactive Driving Simulator Study.«

PaintExpo is an international trade fair for industrial coating technology. We are on site with a team from the »Material Characterization and Testing« department and are presenting an exhibit on the topic of »Coating thickness measurement using terahertz radiation« with a focus on plastic components in combination with determining radar performance.

There are many career opportunities at our institute that have so far mainly been taken up by men. We want to change that! That's why we open our doors on Girls'Day and invite girls to get to know exciting professions in male-dominated fields. Our experts present projects and insights into the everyday life of female mathematicians, while a rally offers the chance to win something and get to know the institute better.

The District Heating Conference is an industry gathering for pipe-based heat supply. Our expert Johanna Heidrich from the »Flow Processes« department will be presenting our »AD Net Heat« software at the District Heating Conference.

The NAFEMS DACH Conference 2026 offers independent, comprehensive information and networking opportunities in the field of numerical simulation methods (CAE). Our experts will be on site with presentations on »GPU-Accelerated Grid-Free Gas-Dynamic Simulations with Generalized Finite Differences«, »Modeling, Simulation, and AI – It’s All Mathematics! CAE Success Stories From Fraunhofer ITWM« and »A Hybrid Parallel PGAS Approach to Linear Solvers for More Productivity and Efficiency«.

The availability of rich vehicle data has been growing rapidly for years – on the one hand, there are historical data sets from measurement campaigns and fleet observations, and on the other hand, modern vehicles in companies are recording more and more driving data. The aim of this seminar is to teach basic methods, procedures, and techniques from the fields of data analysis and machine learning and to use selected examples to show how these can improve the vehicle development process.

INDEX brings together representatives focused on nonwoven fabrics in one place. At a booth, our experts present various production processes, including the simulation of spinning processes.

Our expert Dr. Hannes Grimm-Strele from the »Processes and Materials« department will give a presentation at the Automotive CAE Grand Challenge 2026 on the consideration of process-related fiber orientation in the simulation of sheet molding compounds.

Our department »Image Processing and Inspection Systems« will be at the Control Expert Days 2026 at the Fraunhofer Vision joint stand, presenting AI methods in quality control
