We are pleased to mention here on the Discourse that the final abstract submission deadline for the FEniCS 2026 conference is approaching soon: 27 March 2026!
This is the (really) final submission deadline, so don’t miss your chance! Submit your abstract and find more details on the FEniCS 2026 website: FEniCS 2026 | FEniCS Project.
Remember: in addition to a regular talk or poster, participants may submit a second abstract for the software showcase session to demonstrate the FEniCS‑based software package they would like to share with the community.
We are also pleased to offer travel awards to support attendees who require financial assistance, thanks to the generous support of our sponsors, Flax & Teal Limited and the d’Alembert Institute at Sorbonne Université. Priority will be given to junior students, early‑career researchers, and applicants from countries with less developed research infrastructure. To apply for a travel award, please send a letter of motivation, an estimate of travel costs, your CV, and—if applicable—the title of your submitted abstract to: fenics-2026@dalembert.upmc.fr.
To apply for a travel grant, please send a motivation letter, an estimate of travel expenses, your CV, and, if applicable, the title of your submitted abstract to: fenics-2026@dalembert.upmc.fr
