Astronomer,</font></p>
<p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">We still have
a few vacancies for the 2026 AMUSE Spring School in Heidelberg.</font></p>

<p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">P.S. Here is
the formal announcment:</font></p>
<p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">We organize
an advanced school on the use of AMUSE for<br>
astrophysical simulations. If you ever considered using AMUSE
for<br>
your astronomical multi-scale and multi-physics simulations,
this may<br>
be the opportune moment to join us in Heidelberg from March 23
to 29.<br>
<br>
Where: Heidelberg<br>
When: 23 March to 29 March 2026<br>
Local host: Ralf Klessen<br>
<br>
The school will be for graduate students to full professors with
a<br>
specific interest in learning how to use AMUSE and how to expand
your<br>
own codes' user base by including an AMUSE-complient interface.<br>
<br>
During the school we will:<br>
1) Explain the new AMUSE installation procedures (also for
supercomputers).<br>
2) Set up multi-scale and multi-physics experiments using the
AMUSE framework<br>
3) Learn how to write an AMUSE interface to your own code.<br>
4) Expand the frameworks functionality by adding handy tools and
initial condition generators.<br>
5) Run AMUSE on supercomputers<br>
<br>
Experts will be preset during the entire week to help you
achieving<br>
your objectives; This includes AMUSE staff and advanced users.<br>
<br>
In addition, we will have an open discussion on the future
prospects<br>
and planned expansions for AMUSE, and computational astrophysics
in<br>
general.<br>
<br>
We plan on working on a series of challenging projects, to which
you are<br>
cordially invited to participate. They include:<br>
<br>
Torch: The development of star forming region simulations from
molecular cloud until all the gas is gone.<br>
Uses AMUSE in combination with Flash, Petar, and SeBa.<br>
<br>
Nemesis: Simulating planetary systems in young stellar clusters.<br>
Uses AMUSE in combination with ph4, symplectic and secular
planetary integration<br>
<br>
LonelyPlanets: Simulationg planetary systems with asteroids and
comets in globular clusters and Galactic nuclei.<br>
Uses AMUSE in a stages process with cluster dynamical code and
secular integration<br>
<br>
We will start two new exciting project<br>
<br>
1) We plan on coupling a hydrodynamics solver to Nemesis, to
simulate<br>
the evolution of circum-stellar disks in stellar clusters.<br>
<br>
2) explore the use case of our new domain in chemical evolution
of<br>
interstellar material by simulating giant molecular cloud
chemistry,<br>
protoplanetary disk chemistry, and the chemical evolution of AGB<br>
winds.<br>
