Welcome to SUN HYPE 2026!
During this event, our project leaders will guide small groups of early stage researchers in addressing challenging problems, proposed by them, that are of great relevance and interest to the research community. We hope that our participants will deepen their understanding of the state of the art, acquire new numerical techniques, actively contribute to the development of emerging research directions, and strengthen their professional connections within a solid and collaborative network.
Topics
Numerical Analysis, High-order numerical methods, Structure-preserving techniques, Exascale computing, Hyperbolic equations, Modeling and simulation, Mesh generation and optimization, Astrophysical applications ...
Where
Chania & Technical University of Crete, Greece
When
21-26 of June, 2026

Program
Coming soon
Registration
Deadline for registration: approximately in March.
However, registration may close earlier if all available spots are filled.

Selection procedure
Organizers and project leaders
will periodically check the list of interested participants.
We will maybe contact you to have some additional information and to confirm your interest in coming.
Then, taking into account the order of the received applications,
your preferences, and your background,
we will progressively assign the available spots within each group.
Already allocated spots: 10/30.
Available spots: 20/30. Applications received for the available spots: 16(once we reach approximately 30 applications, we will proceed with the final round of the selection process).
Registration is free
Please note that the information provided below is provisional at this stage and will be finalized in March, once the registration process has been completed. Please also note that minor details may be subject to last-minute changes due to the time required for the research projects and to weather conditions.
Free registration includes:
- The welcome reception (drinks & light dinner) on Sunday evening
- Dedicated workspace at the Technical University of Chania
- 1 coffee break and 1 lunch per day for 4 days
- Private bus transportation at scheduled times on the route Chania – University – Marathi/Loutraki Beach – return to Chania
- Private bus service on the day of the social event (other expenses connected to the social event such as boat trip or food are not included)
- Partial reimbursement of project managers’ expenses in recognition of their effort and professionalism in preparing and managing the projects
Not included.
Note that accommodation and travel expenses for participants are not covered.
Moreover, participants are expected to bring their own laptop.
Projects and their leaders
Wasilij Barsukov
(CNRS, Université de Bordeaux, France)
Project:
New-generation Active Flux methods and their efficient implementation
Walter Boscheri
(CNRS, Université de Chambéry, France)
Project:
Exploiting moving meshes for involution preserving schemes
Keywords: plasma flows, unstructured meshes, divergence-free preservation, Arbitrary-Lagrangian-Eulerian.
Giovanni Leidi
(Heidelberg Institute for Theoretical Studies, Germany)
Project:
Applying high-order structure-preserving finite volume methods to astrophysical applications
- There will be a shared core task:
implementing a higher-order (>=3) finite volume method suited for
modeling flows in stellar interiors.
- In addition, there will be more specialized tasks
(e.g. hydrodynamics, gravity, rotation, diffusive heat transport, boundary conditions and testing)
that can be tackled eventually separately by the team members, depending on their experience.
Sandra May
(Technische Universität Berlin, Berlin, Germany)
Project:
Hyperbolicity Meets Stochasticity
The project will focus on implementing advanced Monte-Carlo (MC) approaches, such as multi level or multi order MC methods, for solving hyperbolic conservation laws with random influence. We expect participants to have a background in numerics for hyperbolic problems. On the stochastic side only little pre-knowledge is necessary (such as knowing what a normal distribution and expected value is).
Davide Torlo
(La Sapienza, Roma, Italia)
Project:
Equilibria preserving model order reduction methods for parametric problems
Keywords: Parametric problems, global flux methods, equilibria preserving, model order reduction, implicit methods, long time behavior, perturbations.
Panagiotis Tsoutsanis - Takis
(Cranfield University, United Kingdom)
Project:
Exascale ready high-order methods
The focus will be on new formulation of existing methods so that they can perform on exascale hardware (CPUs+GPUs);
moreover, the project leader will make available some pre-exascale or exascale class systems to do test remotely.
