The biennial SIAM Conference on Computational Science and Engineering (CSE23) will be held February 27–March 3 at the RAI Congress Centre in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The conference seeks to enable in-depth technical discussions on a variety of major computational efforts on large problems in science and engineering, foster the interdisciplinary culture required to meet these large-scale challenges, and promote the training of the next generation of computational scientists. For years, SIAM CSE conferences have convened experts worldwide; CSE23 is the first time the conference will be held outside of the United States.

Berkeley Lab will be well represented at the meeting, with staff members leading and contributing to several mini-symposia, presenting posters, and participating in invited panel discussions. Lab scientists, such as Andy Nonaka, will also be leading Affinity Groups; the SIAM CSE23 mentoring subcommittee organized this informal mentoring program to introduce the next generation of computational scientists to the leaders in the field.

Contributions to the conference from Berkeley Lab Computing Sciences researchers are listed below.

All times are local to Amsterdam, Netherlands (Central European Standard Time, or GMT+1).
