13-15th September 2022

Objective

The 6th annual Nektar++ Workshop will bring together developers and users of all experiences to hear about new and future developments in the Nektar++ spectral/hp element framework and the exciting science and engineering being undertaken with the code.

The three days will include a comprehensive programme of talks and a poster session. The workshop will be run primarily as an in-person event, but the talks will be streamed online. It is hoped we can offer a limited number of remote presentations for those unable to travel.

Schedule

Abstracts for the talks are available here. Recordings of the presentations are available here.

Location

The workshop will be held in rooms 640/649/650 of the City and Guilds building of the Imperial College London South Kensington campus.

Getting to the campus

The nearest tube station is South Kensington, from which the main entrance to the campus is a short walk up Exhibition Road, past the Natural History and Science museums.

Getting to the rooms

After entering the main entrance revolving doors from Exhibition Road, pass to the right of the security desk and take an immediate left to enter the main foyer of the City and Guilds building. From this foyer, take the lift up to the 6th floor and turn right. The workshop rooms are down the corridor on the left.

Cost

The workshop is free to attend. Lunch and refreshments will be provided between the sessions. For those who wish to join the workshop dinner, we will ask individual attendees to pay for their meal.

Workshop dinner

The workshop dinner will take place at the Hux Brasserie (location), a short walk away on Gloucester Road at 7pm on the second day of the workshop (14th September).
