Over the last 10+ years, SU2 has grown from a small, open-source tool for aerodynamics, to a large community of users and developers with a passion for multidisciplinary optimization. As an open-source project, we believe in building a vibrant community, involving everyone in the spirit of open collaboration.

The SU2 Foundation would like to invite all of our community, whether you are a user or developer, a student, academic, or industry professional, to participate in our 7th Annual SU2 Conference.

Everyone is invited to join us online! Our community will be sharing their state-of-the-art research, code contributions, ongoing developments, and any other SU2-related content that you would not normally see at thematic conferences.

Submission Guidelines

Thank you for your interest in presenting your work at the 7th SU2 Conference. We kindly ask you to submit a short abstract, which gives a summary of the topic you want to present. If accepted, please remember to upload your slides before the conference by the submission due date.
