With slightly over two months away from ISC 2025, we would like to draw the community’s attention to the topics, program elements and special activities that are planned for this year’s event. Our program has been thoughtfully crafted around the theme of "Connecting the Dots."

We are pleased to announce that esteemed climate scientist and meteorologist Prof. Dr. Bjorn Stevens will deliver a keynote address at this year’s conference. In his presentation entitled “The New Landscape of Climate Computing” he will talk about how artificial intelligence (AI), high performance computing (HPC), and new digital models can be used to tackle the urgent challenges in climate change science. During his Midweek Keynote on Wednesday, June 11, Professor Stevens will address more than 3,500 HPC practitioners and enthusiasts gathered in Hamburg, Germany.

We are excited to announce that Prof. Dr. Yutong Lu, the Director of the National Supercomputing Center in Guangzhou, China, will deliver the ISC 2025 Closing Keynote. She is recognized as a leading authority in next-generation architectures and the convergence of advanced artificial intelligence (AI) and high performance computing (HPC) systems and applications.
