Training session

SOFA Week kicks off with two parallel training courses: an introductory SOFA session covering fundamentals and simulation theory, and an advanced soft-robotics workshop blending theory with hands-on simulation practice.

International Symposium

Researchers and companies from the SOFA community join the Symposium in order to share ideas, experiences and to present their on-going research or products based on SOFA. Several sessions of presentations will be organized regarding various simulation topics and application fields. Booths will also be made available for technology demonstrations. This international event is an exciting opportunity, fostering discussions and new collaborations!

SOFA Technical Committee

The week ends with the bi-annual SOFA Technical Committee. This technical committee governs and takes all technical decisions for the roadmap towards upcoming releases. Open and free, the STC is a unique occasion to meet SOFA developers, discuss the on-going developments and code all together during a coding sprint session!
