AIDAS Workshop 2023 – Past, Present, and Future

The European Joint Virtual Lab AIDAS (AI, Data Analytics, and Scalable Simulation) held its annual workshop at JSC. On 11-12 October, scientists from France and Germany gathered in Jülich to present results, exchange ideas, and discuss future collaborations.

AIDAS is the European Joint Virtual lab on AI, Data Analytics and Scalable Simulation founded in 2019 by Forschungszentrum Jülich (FZJ) and the French Commissariat à l’énergie atomique et aux énergies alternatives (CEA). The cooperation is based on the partner’s long-running mutual scientific activities, especially in high-performance computing (HPC) – both in HPC-supported application fields and in the development of HPC technologies towards exascale. Scientists from FZJ and CEA work together on a broad spectrum of research issues ranging from quantum computing, extreme-scale systems,andextreme-scale computing, to brain networks,
materials science, and energy – all topics united by the common denominator of AI, data analytics, and scalable simulation.

The motto of this year’s workshop was “Past, Present and Future”. Participants gave an overview of recent achievements and ongoing subjects, interacted with fellow scientists, and talked about ways of intensifying and expanding joint actions, for example by integrating additional topics and partners.

All in all, the meeting showcased exciting research and scientific achievements whilst underlining the value of this partnership and calling for its further continuation and expansion. We are therefore looking forward to future developments and next year’s workshop in Paris.
