IGARSS 2026 brings together researchers and experts to promote the exchange of ideas on Earth observation technologies. Our experts from the department »Image Processing« give a presentation on-site about flood mapping using RGB images and a Vision Foundation model.

Our colleagues Ralf Korn and Mark-Oliver Wolf are taking over the scientific management of the summer school on insurance innovations.

The workshop »Quantum versus Classical Optimization: Synergies and Boundaries« (QvC) takes place as part of the PPSN Conference. It focuses on the interplay between quantum-based and classical optimization methods, as well as their respective strengths and limitations, and brings researchers together to discuss new approaches to complex optimization problems. Our expert Dr. Pascal Halffmann, research coordinator of the field of application »Quantum Computing«, is a co-organizer of the workshop and contributes his expertise to the discussions.

The OR 2026 is an international conference on current developments in the field of decision optimization, designed to foster dialogue between academia and industry. Our expert Yannick Becker from the department »Financial Mathematics« attends the event and shares insights into the exact reduction of uncertainty sets in min-max regret optimization.

SMM 2026 is the world's leading trade fair for the maritime industry. This event provides a platform for companies, research institutions and experts from all over the world to present and discuss the latest innovations and technologies in the maritime sector. At the Fraunhofer-Waterborne community booth, our experts Erik Waller, Maris Bauer and Joachim Jonuscheit are on site with the topic »Terahertz Measurement Technology for Non-destructive Testing of Composites and Coating Thickness Measurement«, as well as our department »Transport Processes«, who are presenting our software tool »MESHFREE«.

Once a year, the Felix Klein Academy organizes an autumn school for Felix Klein scholarship holders, focusing on mathematical modeling. Supported by mathematicians, students spend the week learning how to solve problems using mathematical modeling and computer simulations. At the end of the week, the groups present their results to the entire group.

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.

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.

How can artificial intelligence support the diagnosis and treatment of lung diseases? The »AI4Lungs« project and the accompanying »AI4LUNGS Awareness Workshop« are dedicated to addressing this question. The online event provides practical insights into current AI solutions for the healthcare sector and demonstrates how these solutions can already support clinical decision-making today.

The training course teaches the basics of quantum computing and its algorithms. Participants learn concepts, differences from classical computers, and how to develop simple quantum programs.
