We are very excited to announce and cordially invite 
everyone to attend the 1st CFDEM®project user meeting and 
workshop which will be held in Linz, Austria on March 14-
15 2016. This will be a great networking and exchange 
opportunity for the CFDEM®coupling, LIGGGHTS® and 
ParScale user community. 

The 1st CFDEM®project user workshop will be jointly held 
together with a network event of the T-MAPPP (Training in 
Multiscale Analysis of multiPhase Particulate Processes 
and systems) consortium. The workshop will offer a 2 day 
agenda packed with scientific and industrial 
presentations around CFD-DEM, DEM and intra-particle 
scale simulations with CFDEM®coupling, LIGGGHTS® and 
ParScale. It will also be complemented by hands-on 
training courses (see here for tickets)

Confirmed keynote presentations include scientific 
keynotes from Prof. Ooi (University of Edinburgh), Prof. 
Radl (Graz University of Technology), Prof. Kwade 
(Braunschweig University of Technology), Prof. Luding 
(Twente University), Prof. Pirker (JKU Linz), and 
industrial keynote lectures  from Dr. Schilling (BASF), 
Dr. Ketterhagen (Pfizer), Dr. Keskitalo  (Neste Jacobs) 
and Prof. Stitt (Johnson Matthey). There will also be 
keynote presentations outlining the latest & greatest 
features of CFDEM®coupling and LIGGGHTS® by Christoph 
Goniva and Christoph Kloss from DCS Computing. More 
keynote speakers will be announced within the next couple 
weeks.
The registration deadline has been extended to 22nd 
January 2016.  There are two ticket categories: Speaker 
and Participant. If you want to register as Speaker (~15 
mins presentation), please prepare a 250 word plain text 
abstract, to be submitted during the registration on 
eventbrite. We're keeping the registration fee as low as 
possible - it includes lunch/refreshments at the workshop 
and a dinner on March 14.
We're very much looking forward to welcome you in Linz in 
March 2016!
