The call to participate in Substrates 2026, to be hosted in March 2026 at LMU Munich as part of <Programming> is now open.
The substrates research programme is closely aligned with the aims of the Malleable Systems community, and as such, we are looking forward to seeing you and your ideas in Munich!
@Bosmon Would there be a possibility of remote participation? I would like to contribute, but do not have the means to pay for the trip to Munich. Speaking with Johnathan a long time ago, he told me the assumption is that one’s institution supports their participation. I am unaffiliated with any institution.
I am in a similar situation. I am affiliated with an institution, but that institution’s resources are decreasing year by year. Moreover, my institution is not in computer science, meaning we don’t have the extensive conference culture of CS and thus not the corresponding budgets either.
I think I am a bit early, (I was in Munich yesterday)
I still do not know what a substrate is, probably because different goals demand different substrates.
Cheers @khinsen and @cxres - I’ve been getting a few such requests and it’s clearly a highly desirable thing. I’ve asked the venue organisers for support on this and will report back here once something is sorted out.
Thanks so much, @Offray - we would really love to have your contribution. I think we should proceed on the basis that remote participation will be available, since I will lug some stuff to Munich to make this happen if necessary, so please do start planning anything you would like to submit!
In the meantime I will continue harassing the organisers.
All the best for the new season and have a Malleable New Year!
Thanks all - I have now had confirmation from the venue organisers that online participation will be supported and I’ve amended the workshop description accordingly.
