We are pleased to announce that the 10th European Seminar on Computing
(ESCO 2026) will take place on June 1-4, 2026, at Hotel Central in
Pilsen, Czech Republic. ESCO 2026 is an interdisciplinary
international conference that promotes modern technologies and
practices in scientific computing and visualization, and strengthens
the interaction between researchers and practitioners across
computational engineering, sciences, and education. The conference
will be held in person, with online participation also available.
Abstract submission deadline: February 15, 2026.
Main topics and themes of ESCO 2026 include (but are not limited to):
• Computational electromagnetics and coupled problems
• Fluid-structure interaction and multiphase flows
• Computational chemistry and quantum physics
• Computational civil and structural engineering
• Computational biology and bioinformatics
• Computational geometry and topology
• Mathematics education and outreach
• Machine learning and AI
• Petascale and exascale computing
• Hydrology and porous media flows
• Wave propagation and acoustics
• Climate and weather modeling
• GPU and cloud computing
• Uncertainty quantification
• Open-source software
• Computational and applied statistics
The proceedings of ESCO 2026 will appear as a special issue of the
Journal of Computational and Applied Mathematics (JCAM,
Elsevier). Submissions should be prepared in the format of a standard
journal paper; they will be peer- reviewed in the journal’s usual
process.
Additional details can be found on the conference website:
https://esco2026.fel.zcu.cz/ or by contacting esco@fel.zcu.cz.
