FortranCon 2025: Deadline for abstract submission extended to Sept. 12th, 2025

[tizianomueller]

The FortranCon 2025 Call for Abstracts is still open — final deadline is September 12th!

https://www.fortrancon.org 

FortranCon 2025 is the third edition of the International Conference on the development and usage of the Fortran programming language, taking place ONLINE on November 4-5, 2025. The event brings together active Fortran project developers—library and tool developers, as well as scientific application users, to share experience and exchange ideas. The conference is organized by the community, for the community.

We are excited to announce a second call for abstracts, with a final extended deadline of September 12, 2025. Decisions will be communicated by October 7, 2025.

For the Keynote talk we are happy to welcome John Reid, active member of ISO Fortran Committee ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22/WG5 (WG5 Convenor from 1999 through 2017).

This year, FortranCon is supported by the Back to the Fortran Future Network, an international initiative based in the UK with representation from the UK, Germany, Netherlands, Sweden, France, and USA, spanning academia, government, industry, and open source. Prof. Austen Rainer and Dr. Andrew Brown (Queen’s University Belfast, Northern Ireland) co-facilitate the network.

The conference will be held in Europe’s afternoon, America’s morning, and Asia’s/Australia’s late evening, enabling participation from all regions. As in previous years, there is room for associated local or in-person events such as workshops on the first day afternoon (US time zones) or second day morning (EU time zones). If you are interested in organizing such an event, please contact us at operators@fortrancon.org.

All presentations will be recorded and made available on the FortranCon Youtube channel.

Thanks for the notice.  I will float this topic to the top of the Forum notifications until the conference start date.

@Arjen_Markus  is this worth doing?

Tiziano and Alfi have organised similar events for a number of years now, both physical and online. I have always enjoyed them and have contributed several times. If you want to hear what people are with (or to) Fortran, yes, it is certainly worth your time. And consider a contribution if you can spare that time as well :).

Thanks for the update! Great to see the abstract deadline extended until September 12th, 2025 — that gives more people a chance to contribute. Exciting lineup with John Reid as keynote, and it’s impressive to see the growing international support through the Back to the Fortran Future Network.

Looking forward to the talks in November and the chance to learn from both tool developers and scientific users. Appreciate the effort from the organizers and community in keeping FortranCon open, online, and accessible worldwide.
