This week, Marina and Thomas were joining the FEniCS Conference 2026 in Paris.
The talks covered a remarkably broad range of topics, from studies on Maxwell’s equations and stiffness reconstruction of human brains from MRI data with the aim of detecting abnormalities, to the 3D morphology of inflatable 2D structures. Thanks to the organisers and all contributors for putting together such an interesting conference. It was extremely enriching.
Our personal highlight, of course, was Marina’s talk on Wednesday morning, where she presented the FELiCS project to the FEniCS community. In her talk, Marina highlighted the ideas behind linear flow analysis and FELiCS, and presented several current fields of application. We are very happy about the positive feedback we received. This was further reflected in Marina winning the Best Presenter Award of this year’s conference. Congratulations, Marina, on this achievement. Of course, this recognition also goes to everyone who helped prepare the talk and to all the developers of FELiCS.
In this context, we would also like to thank the developers and maintainers of FEniCS for their dedication to providing these extremely helpful tools to engineers and scientists around the globe.
We are looking forward to the next FEniCS conference and wish all participants safe travels home.
