    SOLPS-ITER Code Camp 2026

    → Europe/Zurich
    CM 1 120 (EPFL)

    CM 1 120

    EPFL

    Station 13 CH-1015 Lausanne
    Description

     

    The SOLPS-ITER Code Camp 2026 will take place at EPFL (École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne), in Lausanne, Switzerland, from 19 to 23 October 2026.

    The Code Camp is a hands-on workshop dedicated to the development, validation, and application of the SOLPS-ITER code. It brings together code developers, contributors, and users from fusion research institutes worldwide. The workshop combines practical working sessions with discussions on recent code developments and new features, training for new users, and collaborative work on current modelling challenges and future directions.

    The event will be hosted by the Swiss Plasma Center (SPC) at EPFL, one of Europe's leading fusion research institutions, home to the TCV tokamak.

    All sessions will take place in room CM 1 120, on the EPFL campus in Lausanne.
