After two years of the Covid-19 pandemic, the 92nd annual meeting of the International Association of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics was held in person again August 15-19 in Aachen. It was great to see so many familiar faces and to join a conference with almost the entire BRAINIACS team. We orga...

From July 31 to August 5, 2022, the 15th World Congress on Computational Mechanics & 8th Asian Pacific Congress on Computational Mechanics (WCCM-APCOM) originally planned to take place in Yokohama, Japan, was held virtually. We organized two minisymposia on “0414 Exploring brain mechanics”, join...

On July 26, we came together to celebrate the end of the semester and a quite successful first half of the year. Besides great advancements in research, we have established some helpful new measures to improve our data management and communication, which has significantly boosted the exchange within...

July 10-14, 2022, we participated in the 9th World Congress of Biomechanics 2022 Tapei, Taiwan. Unfortunately, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we finally had to switch to online participation. Still, it was a great opportunity to share and discuss newest research developments in the highly interdisci...

On 17th September, 2021 about 20 researchers from FAU and other scientific institutions met for interdisciplinary exchange on the topic of “Brain Mechanics” at FAU’s Villa Jordan

"On July 8 2019, we got together for a first meeting initializing new collaborations between anatomy, biomaterials, biophysics, and mechanics, which was hosted by Prof. Friedrich Paulsen at the Institute of Functional and Clinical Anatomy.

From June 30 – July 1, 2022, the International Symposium in honor of Professor Gerhard A. Holzapfel’s 60th birthday (ISBio) was held in Graz, Austria. It was a unique setting gathering the worldwide leading experts in the field of continuum biomechanics. In a wonderful atmosphere, we were able to d...

From June 5 to June 9, the 8th European Congress on Computational Methods in Applied Sciences and Engineering (ECCOMAS Congress 2022) was held in Oslo, Norway. For many of us it was the first large fully in-person conference after the Covid-19 pandemic, with more than 2000 participants. We organize...

To celebrate our new BRAINIACS Hoodies, we relocated our regular BRAINIACS meeting to the nice Röthelheim beergarden in Erlangen. The weather was perfect – sunny yet not too hot such that the hoodies were the perfect wardrobe. It is really special to experience the great atmosphere and spirit with...

On May 11, BRAINIACS PhD students Alex and Jessi kindly hosted a BBQ on their roof terrace. It was a great and inspiring atmosphere, where we had the chance to talk about research but also everything else that matters in life. It was also a great opportunity to introduce our newest BRAINIACS member...
