PASC24: Final Call for PASC24 Minisymposium Expressions of Interest
PASC24 submission opportunities
The PASC24 Organizing Team welcomes submissions for minisymposium, paper, and poster contributions. Submissions should be made via the conference submission portal.
The conference is co-sponsored by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), SIGHPC, and the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre (CSCS) – a unit of ETH Zurich.
PASC24 is an international and interdisciplinary platform for the exchange of knowledge in scientific computing and computational science with a strong focus on methods, tools, algorithms, workflows, application challenges, and novel techniques in the context of scientific usage of high performance computing.
The technical program is organized into seven scientific domains:
- Chemistry and Materials (incl. ceramics, metals, and polymers)
- Climate, Weather, and Earth Sciences (incl. solid earth dynamics)
- Applied Social Sciences and Humanities (incl. behavioral, economic, legal, political and business sciences, philosophy, languages, the arts, ethics in computing including climate impact of HPC, biases in machine learning, etc.)
- Engineering (incl. CFD, computational mechanics, computational engineering and materials, turbulent flow)
- Life Sciences (incl. biophysics, genomics, bioinformatics, systems biology, neuroscience, and computational biology)
- Physics (incl. astrophysics, cosmology, plasma modelling, and quantum information sciences)
- Computational Methods and Applied Mathematics
Last call for minisymposium expressions of interest (by October 21)
A minisymposium is a two-hour session of four 30-minute presentations (or three presentations and an open discussion) on a topic of significant interest to the given scientific domain, ideally having potential applications in other domains. Minisymposia are an ideal platform for promoting interdisciplinary communication. Speakers should be representatives of different genders, institutions and geographic areas, and they should bring a range of different perspectives to the topic. Proposals that address aspects of the theme of PASC24 “Synthesizing Applications Through Learning and Computing” are particularly welcome.
The minisymposium submission for PASC24 is a two-stage process.
- An expression of interest, where only a description of the proposed minisymposium (abstract) and a list of potential speakers with relevant expertise are required. The expressions of interest will be evaluated, and a subset of them will be invited to submit
- a full proposal.
Guidelines for minisymposia and conference participation terms are available here.

Event format
After a fully digital event in 2021, followed by two hybrid conferences, we are pleased to hostPASC24 as an in-person event at ETH Zurich, Switzerland.
Conference contributors whose submissions are accepted for presentation at the conference, should thus plan to travel to Zurich and present their work on-site.
We look very much forward to welcoming you to Zurich in June 2024!
