This year brings two changes we hope you will find helpful:

Python Tutorial, optional

Tuesday, November 4, 2025

Beginners Python Course for workshop participants one day before the workshop. This optional day is designed for participants who are completely new to Python and coding and only covers basics relevant for the workshop. If you would like to join, please contact us by October 20, 2025.

Deep Dive Day

Friday, November 7, 2025

The third day of the workshop will focus on topics relevant to the CADET community. Possible topics include implementing your own isotherm, how models work under the hood, and application examples of CADET across domains. We also plan an open space to explore your interests.

This is why we would love your input for Friday. Please tell us what you would like to see or contribute. This could be a short talk, a specific CADET challenge you want to discuss, or a topic you want to learn more about.
