The ecological transition raises formidable challenges for engineers across many fields: energy, transportation, infrastructure, urban planning, and more. The IPCC bases its assessments on models of climate evolution. Numerical modeling therefore plays a fundamental role in this context, but it also raises important questions—for example, regarding the validity of models under new climatic conditions, and the energy cost of these models, especially when they rely on the use of very large datasets.
For the fourth year, the scientific community of the Institut Polytechnique de Paris will come together around the theme Numerical Modeling and Ecological Transition, with a program featuring plenary lectures, mini-symposia, and individual presentations during a poster session.
This annual event aims to:
Explore interdisciplinary research topics related to the chosen theme,
Highlight scientific results and their impact,
Encourage exchange and the development of collaborations among researchers.
Registration is free but mandatory. This is an internal event, exclusively for the IP Paris members staff and its Schools.
The program will feature 3 plenaries lectures, 6 mini-symposia, and individual presentations during a poster session.
The interdisciplinary centers and arious IP Paris services will also be present to showcase the range of services and opportunities they offer.
