NeuralFEM Workshop 2026

Strasbourg, France — 14–18 December 2026 IRMA, University of Strasbourg

The NeuralFEM workshop is the first meeting of the NeuralFEM MATH-AmSud project (Uruguay, Colombia, Chile, France), devoted to the certified approximation of partial differential equations by neural networks.

Topics

• Neural network methods for nonlinear and non-smooth problems (contact, plasticity, fractional operators) and hybrid neural network / finite element schemes
• A priori error analysis of network approximations
• A posteriori error estimation and adaptive strategies
• Reduced basis methods
• Applications in biomechanics and biomedicine

Participation

The workshop is open to everyone working on these questions. Participation is free, but registration is mandatory before 30 October 2026. Contributed talks are welcome.
