SPACE HPC Summer School: PLUTO/OpenGadget3 Symposium 2026

The SPACE HPC Summer School has been organized in the form of the first joint PLUTO/Open-Gadget3 Symposium, which took place at the House of Astronomy (Heidelberg) from June 15th to June 18th, 2026. The Symposium aimed at both experienced users who want to show the code's capabilities to the community and beginner users aiming at learning how to maximise the code's efficiency. While we strongly encouraged in-person participation, we also ensured remote participation through the Webex application.
