EnhanceR Symposium 2026

Thank you for your interest in our Symposium! it's an in-person full day event that takes place in PSI Villigen on Nov 30th, 2026 and is organized by EnhanceR.

Participation is free, but the number of places is limited, so please register early — registrations are generally handled on a "first come, first serve" basis. You will be able to amend or cancel your registration if your circumstances change.

Registration is open until 2026-10-31 (1 month before the event) or until places run out.

The bulk of the event is expected to consist small show-and-tell demos and discussions hosted by participants, with multiple parallel tracks. We welcome submissions for contributions to these sessions.

The following are the focus topics for this Symposium:

• AI for Scientific Software & Workflows (coding assistants, agentic tools, automation)
• Responsible & Secure AI Use (privacy, sensitive data, trusted environments, ethics, model choice: local vs frontier)
• Quality, Reproducibility & Maintainability (testing, documentation, long-term sustainability of AI-assisted code)
• AI in Teaching & Skills Development (teaching with AI, learning outcomes, good practices for researchers)
• Compute Trends Beyond AI (emerging architectures and future computing models)
• Research Data & Workflow Foundations (scientific workflows, research data management, integration into research practice)

Contributions outside these topics are also possible.

We are organizing a 90-minute pre-event tour of the PSI research facilities on the afternoon of Sunday 29th November 2026.

Are you interested in attending? Spaces are limited, and assigned on a first-come, first-serve basis. We will confirm your place separately.
