The IN|NOVATE NOW conference brings together companies, startups, and the academic community in the Palatinate, offering opportunities for exchange and networking. We are represented at the event as cooperation partner. Our expert Dr. Henrike Stephani, Scientific Advisor Institute Strategy and Deputy Head of the Department »Image Processing« Department, provides insights into our current research.

The JSAE Annual Congress 2026 (Spring) of the Japan Society of Automotive Engineers (JSAE) is a conference focusing on topics related to automotive engineering and the automotive industry. Our expert Francesco Calabrese from the »Mathematics for Vehicles, Systems and Production« division will be presenting the talk »A Predictive Thermo-Mechanical Framework for Tire Temperature and Performance Modeling« on site.

The European Mechanics of Materials Conference (EMMC) is an international conference on materials mechanics. It brings together researchers from various fields to discuss current developments and research findings. Our experts Dr. Martiva Stavole and Quirin Hoesch are each giving a lecture with focus on »Cables, Hoses, and Flexible Structures«.

The Hannover Messe is one of the world’s leading industrial trade fairs, showcasing innovations, applications, and future technologies along the entire industrial value chain. We will be on site with a team from the »High Performance Computing« department.

Apply and Innovate 2026 addresses topics and trends in the automotive industry, particularly in the field of virtual vehicle development, and provides a platform for the exchange of new impulses. Our colleague Sebastian Emmerich from the »Dynamics, Loads and Environmental Data« department is on site with a presentation.

In our Math Talent School for MINT-EC schools, female students have the opportunity to gain practical experience in workshops and work in teams on real challenges in applied mathematics.

The Battery Show is a trade fair with an accompanying conference on battery technologies and electrification, serving as a platform for discussing current innovations and challenges in the industry. Our experts Dr. Jochen Zausch and Dr. Joachim Jonuscheit from the division »Processes and Materials« have two exhibits at the Fraunhofer Battery Alliance booth. They present the topics »Digital Simulation Tools for Production and Design of Battery Cell« and »Inline Thickness Measurement System for Anode and Cathode Foils«.

Dynamic loads occurring in the field play a central role in the development of mechanically stressed systems. A good understanding of operating loads is crucial for design with regard to functional properties such as strength and vibration behavior.

The Commercial Vehicle Technology Symposium is a two-day conference in Kaiserslautern at our institute with around 40 specialist lectures and poster presentations on international trends in the commercial vehicle industry. The event is accompanied by a trade and vehicle exhibition.

The webinar »Beyond Classical AI« explores the use of Quantum Machine Learning (QML) to detect errors and anomalies in industrial processes. Together with WISER, our expert Dr. Pascal Halffmann, research coordinator for »Quantum Computing«, demonstrates how Quantum Neural Networks are trained on real sensor data and evaluated for industrial applications.
