People are the key to successful software. The HSF-India project aims to promote the development of international research software collaborations. This is the 9th in a series of workshops for software and data analysis skills essential for doing research software in physics. Our curriculum builds upon the successful series of workshops. 
This workshop covers

Applications of machine learning for scientific analysis
GPU algorithm development and scientific application development
Alpaka algorithm development for HL-LHC reconstruction for the CMS experiment

This event is organized primarily for PhD students and masters students, however, anyone is welcome to attend.  We expect to be able to accommodate up to about 40 participants in the full event. In the case that we can not accept all applications, preference will be given to PhD students from the surrounding region who are engaged in programs for high-energy physics, nuclear physics, astroparticle physics and data science pursuits. 
Last date of registration is Thursday, March 12, 2026.  
Pre-school: All registered students will be invited to attend (optional) online pre-school lectures held between March 30 through April 10. The pre-school will cover topics necessary to be ready for the workshop (introductions to Python/Shell/Git/C++, etc). Participation in the in-person workshop at IISER-Pune will be by invitation only based on the registration requests received.
The registration fee for the in-person workshop is INR 3000 for students and INR 5000 for faculty participants to partially cover the lunches and breakfast. The fee will be collected after registrations have been accepted.
Accommodation charges are separate and are to be paid by participants directly at the institute guesthouse at the rate of INR 600 per night for double occupancy rooms for sudents and INR 1200 per night for single occupancy rooms for faculty.
Feel free to contact us in case of questions. Limited financial support for accommodation may be available upon request (not guaranteed right now); however, no support is available for travel expenses.
This event is supported by IISER-Pune and the U.S. National Science Foundation grant OISE-2201990.
