Fortran has been supporting scientific software engineering and critical infrastructure for 70 years. To celebrate this, the Institute of Computing for Climate Science (ICCS) will be holding a ‘birthday party’ on 1 December 2026 at the Science and Industry Museum in Manchester, UK. The timing was chosen to align with Computing Insights UK (CIUK) - ‘the UK’s premier conference for HPC and associated research’ - which will be held a short walk away between 2-4 December 2026.

For all details, see the event webpage.

Attendance will be free of charge, thanks to the support of the event sponsors:

  • AMD (platinum sponsor)
  • Dell (platinum sponsor)
  • CAKE (bronze sponsor)
  • OpenMP (bronze sponsor)
  • ICCS (bronze sponsor)

Whilst it will be a primarily in-person event, there will also be an option to join remotely via Zoom.

Registration will close on 9th November 2026.
