In line with the Helmholtz AI Conference 2025 the Helmholtz AI team at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Campus North invites the Helmholtz AI Community for a Prologue Day at the ZEISS Innovation Hub@KIT. We will have a full range of satellite events that go beyond the program of the main conference to delve deeper into specific applied AI topics, foster collaboration, and provide hands-on learning experiences. Pick your favourite, hands-on-session, tutorial, or unconference contribution. What’s more, you can join our guided campurs tours to explore the KIT's large-scale facilities, including a nuclear reactor, the Energy Lab, a particle accelerator or the HoreKa supercomputer. 
 

Artificial intelligence is revolutionizing how we approach scientific challenges, unveiling insights at an unprecedented pace. With each passing day, we witness AI unlocking even greater potential, accelerating research.
 
The Helmholtz AI Conference 2025 (3.6. - 5.6.): AI for Science invites you to share and further explore the transformative power of AI in science, showcasing the latest research on applied AI solutions for the fifth consecutive year. We bring together AI researchers, consultants, and industry representatives, as well as enthusiasts and students in related fields to discuss interdisciplinary challenges, share cutting-edge research and inspire new collaborations. Join us to discover how AI is shaping the future of science and society. Together, we push the boundaries of what’s possible.

A close exchange with users is essential for the further development of the NHR@KIT services and infrastructures. For this reason, a new series of events has been launched, where operators and users can meet and exchange ideas in an informal setting: HPC Café.
 
In addition to our established contact channels and training courses, we offer the HPC Café at regular intervals (every first friday of a month).
 
The event will take place from 10 am to 12 pm with a keynote speech, which will be followed by a discussion.
 

Keynote speech topic for upcoming HPC Café:
 
April 4, 2025: Hybrid Quantum-Classical Optimization with the ProvideQ Toolbox by Domenik Eichhorn (KIT/KASTEL)  
Abstract:

Hybrid solvers for combinatorial optimization problems combine the advantages of classical and quantum computing to address challenging computational tasks. While theoretically promising, their practical applicability remains difficult due to the lack of a technological stack that seamlessly integrates quantum solutions with classical optimization frameworks.
In this presentation, we introduce the ProvideQ toolbox, a software tool that enables users to adapt and configure hybrid solvers via Meta-Solver strategies. These strategies implement decomposition techniques that divide problems into classical and quantum subroutines, allowing for flexible and efficient hybrid optimization. The ProvideQ toolbox facilitates the interactive creation of such decompositions through a Meta-Solver configuration tool, integrating well-established classical techniques with quantum circuits executable on multiple backends.
Alongside the introduction of ProvideQ, we also provide a general overview of the quantum computing and quantum software domains, setting the stage for understanding the challenges and opportunities in hybrid quantum-classical optimization.
 
Of course, a question and answer session is also planned. Here, users can address HPC-related topics and problems. We will try to find solutions together.
 
Would you like a presentation on a specific topic? Please let us know. --> office@nhr.kit.edu
 
Over coffee and cookies, the topics raised can be discussed in greater depth.
 
Please register on Indico event page in order to attend.
 
We look forward to seeing you there and hope for a lively participation!

Modeling and simulation have been established as the third major pillar of scientific investigation, alongside experiment and theory, and the COMSOL Multiphysics® software has become the premier platform for this work. Engineers and scientists turn to COMSOL Multiphysics® for its ability to couple any combination of multiphysics phenomena and features for defining your own system of partial differential equations and creating tailor-made simulation apps for specific engineering and scientific uses.
Discover how to enhance your research with multiphysics simulation using the COMSOL® software. This event will provide an overview of its applications across various technical fields and serve as a platform for exchanging ideas. Connect with members of the COMSOL community, discuss your specific simulation needs, and gain insights to advance your work.

The aim of the NHR conferences is to bring together HPC users working on selected topics, varying each year. Users of the NHR Centers will have the opportunity to present their projects in a poster session or contributed talk, and to exchange ideas with the consulting and operational teams of the NHR-Centers. 

For next year's conference at Georg-August-Universität Göttingen, the topics are: 
• AI in Social Sciences 
• Life Sciences
• Data Management & Storage

More information will be provided soon.

Join us in Tübingen on September 23rd for the 11th bwHPC Symposium, an interdisciplinary conference spotlighting scientific projects and success stories leveraging high-performance computing and the BaWü data federation in the context of bwHPC-S5. Tübingen, the host city, is home to our bwForCluster BinAC2 for Bioinformatics, Astrophysics, Geosciences, Medical Informatics and Pharmacy. It also serves as coordinator for the HPC Competence Center for Bioinformatics and Astrophysics in Baden-Württemberg. The bwHPC-Symposium is a yearly event, free for all scientists in Baden-Württemberg. It fosters active dialogue between researchers, bwHPC service operators, and members of the bwHPC-S5 support centers.

We welcome your scientific contributions and look forward to your participation.
Registration will open soon. The registration deadline is September 5th, 2025.
