Karman-Conference on
Sustainable Computational Science and Engineering 2025
March 16, 2025 – March 19, 2025, Steinfeld Abbey, Eifel, Germany
In this Karman-Conference, we focus on the intersection of Computational Science and Engineering (CSE) and sustainability. Sustainable CSE is about integrating sustainability principles into every aspect of the computational process, from the design and deployment of CSE software to the applications and outcomes of CSE research. The goal is to ensure that CSE exploits any types of natural but also financial resources responsibly, and contributes positively to environmental sustainability, rather than exacerbating environmental challenges. The conference will combine three themes:
- Computing for Sustainability, which considers the usage of CSE methods for the cause of e.g. sustainable product design,
- Sustainable Computing, which investigates how methods and tools of CSE can be sustainably deployed, and
- Sustainable Software, which deals with CSE-focused research software engineering and code development.
The combination of these three aspects into a single conference allows an holistic approach to sustainability in CSE.
