OBJECTIVE

With the new 2025+ strategy, the members of the ASCS are creating an innovation platform to master the global challenges of digital transformation and decarbonization by strategically and technically strengthening computer simulation for virtual vehicle development and mobility systems.

Under the basic principle of COOPETITION, energetic and passionate innovators shape fields of action for collaborative exchange and co-creation.

In the area of vehicle structures, the increasing demands of electrified drives and decarbonization as well as vehicle safety and automation require radically new approaches to materials and vehicle layouts. In this unique event format, experts give impulse speeches to highlight current and future challenges as well as approaches to solutions as an impetus for discussion on possible collaboration.

In a subsequent interactive work session, valuable feedback is collected, and measures are derived and prioritized. This can involve a variety of measures such as joint projects, working groups, events, studies or other communication measures. In this way, simulation challenges can be identified in which a collaborative approach to the association's work activates and strengthens the interest and commitment of the members and thus paves the way for scientific and business development as well as value creation in the sense of the term coopetition. We look forward to your impulse.

The workshop is aimed at decision-makers, visionaries, innovative and motivated minds in the simulation environment from business and science. The event is exclusive for ASCS members and invited experts.
