KLAIM – Kaiserslautern Applied and Industrial Mathematics Days

Start of a New Conference Series at Fraunhofer ITWM

The Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Mathematics ITWM experienced three days of intensive exchange: More than sixty international scientists accepted the invitation of the two organizers Prof. Dr. Anita Schöbel, Director of Fraunhofer ITWM, and Prof. Dr. Bernd Simeon from the Department of Mathematics at TU Kaiserslautern. The aim of this conference is to provide a forum for applied mathematicians from universities, research laboratories, and industry to exchange ideas and present the latest research results.

But the goal is also to firmly anchor the conference in the scientific community, as it is to be held every two years. The focus of this first edition of KLAIM was on the role of applied mathematics in the development of digital twins. This was highlighted in forty short talks and extensive discussion sessions. Accompanying the conference is a conference volume with the abstracts of the talks.

Opening of the event: Prof. Dr. Anita Schöbel (Director of Fraunhofer ITWM) in the lecture hall of the Fraunhofer ITWM.

We asked three of the keynote speakers why they came to Kaiserslautern and what they expect from KLAIM:
