Shaping the future of Numerical Linear Algebra in Europe
to January 22, 2027
Venue: Centre de Recerca Matemàtica
Room: Auditorium
Introduction
This workshop aims to foster the interaction between researchers in Numerical Linear Algebra around several topics of high current interest, namely:
- Randomized NLA
- NLA in High Performance Computing
- NLA in Industry
- Numerical Multilinear Algebra in Machine Learning
- Quantum algorithms in NLA
The ultimate goal is to create cross-national working groups on these topics.
The workshop will include lectures by renowned researchers in each of these topics, as well as contributed talks by other attendees. There will also be slots for interactive activities, including breakout group discussions, problem-driven working sessions, reporting and feedback sessions, and moderated cross-disciplinary discussions.

Policies and commitments
CRM Events Code of Conduct
Scam warning
We are aware of a number of current scams targeting participants at CRM activities concerning registration or accommodation bookings. If you are approached by a third party (eg travellerpoint.org, Conference Committee, Global Travel Experts or Royal Visit) asking for booking or payment details, please ignore them.
Please remember:
i) CRM never uses third parties to do our administration for events: messages will come directly from CRM staff
ii) CRM will never ask participants for credit card or bank details
iii) If you have any doubt about an email you receive please get in touch
Sustainable events
We are committed to organising sustainable events that minimise environmental impact and create a positive legacy for the host community. We support organisers in designing events aligned with the UN 2030 Sustainable Development Goals, reducing negative environmental impacts and promoting responsible practices.
All materials provided during our activities are responsibly sourced, including recycled pens and plastic-free badges. We work with responsible suppliers, and our catering partners use fully compostable materials while offering vegetarian and vegan options, with at least one event day being fully vegetarian.
