Firedrake ‘25

The tenth Firedrake user and developer workshop will be held at the School of Mathematics together with Leeds Institute of Fluid Dynamics, University of Leeds, from 15-17 September 2025.

The workshop will be an opportunity for Firedrake users and developers to discuss the latest developments in the project, anticipated future developments, and how Firedrake can be used in the numerical solution of partial differential equations. The event will provide Firedrake users with the opportunity to interact directly with developers and with other users.

The conference will begin around lunchtime on 15 September and end on the evening of 17 September.

Conference venue

The conference will take place in the School of Mathematics, the MALL and the Reading Room (Room 9.31). Its main entrance (building 84 on the campus map) is located next to the Edward Boyle library (building 83 on the campus map).

Travel to Leeds

Coming to Leeds from abroad, the best options are:

  • Fly to Heathrow or Gatwick

    This is usually the best option for those flying long distance. Subsequently, one can take the train to Leeds.

  • Fly to Leeds-Bradford (LBA)

    This is a good option for European flights; Leeds-Bradford is a much smaller airport than Heathrow and is more convenient. There is a bus service to the centre of Leeds. Alternatively, one can take a taxi.

If coming from the UK it is simplest to take the train to Leeds station.
