• Optimisation of particle simulations

• Standardisation of visualisation and post-processing tools for particle simulation

Review

ESCO is an very good conference for ON-DEM, providing exposure to a wide array of relevant and engaging talks. Many talks we attended were particularly pertinent to our objectives. Additionally, the conference offers valuable networking opportunities with experts in applied mathematics, numerical methods, and AI—areas currently underrepresented in our network.

We plan to continue attending the ESCO conference series in the future as part of ON-DEM. It is likely that we will also utilise this platform to host Working Group (WG) meetings for computationally intensive groups, such as WG 1.
