This has spurred the development of several new projects written in and for Fortran\, helping the Fortran programmers - in particular\, the scien tific community - to modernize their code and make it more maintainable.\n \nWith this conference\, we intend to bring together active Fortran projec t developers from all fields: library and tool developers as well as peopl e using Fortran to develop scientific applications\, to share their experi ence and exchange ideas.\n\nComments on the Covid-19 situation:\n\nThe con ference will take place and will be held completely virtually.\nStart tim es:\n\n\n on Thursday: 15:00/3pm UTC+2/CEST\n on Friday: 13:00/1pm UTC+2/C EST\n\n\nKeynote\n\nFor the Keynote talk we are happy to welcome Mr. Steve Lionel\, convener of the ISO Fortran Standards group\, retired Intel empl oyee and to many known as Doctor Fortran.\n\nConference Structure / Regist ration / Call for Abstracts\n\nThe FortranCon 2020 is organized in two ful l days with speaker presentations (2. and 3. July) and a half-day worksho p (4. July) on a particular Fortran topic with lectures and hands-on sess ions. Anyone interested is kindly requested to register for the event\, sp ecifying if she/he would like to participate in the conference and/or the tutorial. The registration is free of charge. Please register until June 1st\, 2020 June 12th\, 2020 (extended deadline). Participants can virtua lly attend the meeting (due to Covid-19 situation).\n\nA Call-for-Abstract is also open for people who would like to present at the conference. The official language is English. We have 2 tracks: Selected Presentations (2 5 + 5 minutes discussion) and Junior Presentations (15 + 5 minutes discuss ion). The Junior presentations are principally intended for Junior resear chers and will be directly decided on by the Local Committee while the Se lected Presentations will be reviewed by a Scientific Committee.\n\nThe su bmission must consist of a title (max 10 words) and an abstract (max 200 words). Furthermore\, it is required to specify if you apply for a 15 or 25 minutes presentation. Note that juniors have the priority for the 15 m inutes slots. You should submit a talk about anything you think is worth sharing with the Fortran Community. However\, we are happy to host talks on other topics that can inspire us. Speakers will be requested to descri be their experience\, the implemented techniques\, and the eventual new de velopments.\n\nUnless explicitly requested by the speaker\, all presentati ons will be recorded and made available through SWITCHtube. If required\, presentations can also be given remotely. Please leave a note during the a bstract submission or contact the organizers if you want/have to give the presentation remotely.\n\nThe Scientific Committee members advise on the s election of the selected presentations by voting each presentation. Each vote is between 1 – 5 points per talk. Members who are also submittin g for a talk will not be able to vote on their own presentation. Furthermo re\, a member will not be able to vote if there is a possibility of a conf lict. Based on this advice\, the final decision is made by the Local Comm ittee members once the voting deadline has passed (usually 15 days after the deadline of submission). There will be multiple calls for selected pr esentations (see deadlines)\, up to the fulfillment of the slots (14 pre sentations). Junior presentations are only selected by the Local Committe e members following the criteria of being related to Fortran and based on the first-come\, first-served basis up to the fulfillment of the junio r slots (6 presentations). The decision of acceptance of the junior presen tations is sent about 15 days after the submission\, with the final deadli ne for submission on June 1st\, 2020 (see deadlines).\n\nThe last half-da y is devoted to a tutorial on a selected Fortran topic. Registered partici pants will be presented with a set of topics from which they can choose during the registration. The top selected topic will be presented in the t utorial. Example of topics are:\n\n\n New Fortran 2003/2008 features (incl uding Object-Oriented) and outlook to the new standard 2018\n Best practic es for Fortran\n Fortran parallelization\n Fortran/C/Python interoperabili ty\n Unit-testing frameworks\n Meta-programming tools\n Source-code docume ntation tools\n\n\nPre-requisites for the tutorial are: be active in the development of an application written in Fortran (basic knowledge of Fort ran)\, basic knowledge of C language\, familiarity with object-oriented pr ogramming concepts and parallel programming techniques.\n\nDeadlines\n\nRe gistration (free of charge): June 1st\, 2020 June 12th\, 2020 (extended d eadline).\n\nFirst Selected Call-for-Abstract: May 1st\, 2020 (decisions sent by May 15th\, 2020).\n\nSecond Selected Call-for-Abstract: June 1 st\, 2020 (decisions sent by June 15th\, 2020).\n\nJunior Call-for-Abstra ct: running deadline up to June 1st\, 2020 (decisions sent about 15 days a fter the submission\, based on the first-come\, first-served basis up to t he fulfilment of the junior slots).\n\nLocal Committee Members\n\nLocal c ommittee members are in charge of the final selection of the selected and junior presentations\, organization of the event\, and preparation of the tutorial.\n\n\n Tiziano Müller\, Dept. of Chemistry\, UZH\n Anna Hehn\, Dept. of Chemistry\, UZH\n Vladimir Rybkin\, Dept. of Chemistry\, UZH\n Jo hann Mattiat\, Dept. of Chemistry\, UZH\n\n\nScientific Committee Members\ n\nScientific committee members advice on the selection of the expert pres entations.\n\n\n Alfio Lazzaro\, HPE CH\n Anton Shterenlikht\, HPE UK\n A rjen Markus\, Deltares NL\n Milan Curcic\, University of Miami USA\n Rob Neely\, LLNL USA\n Wadud Miah\, NAG UK\n\n\nFunding\n\nWe gratefully ackn owledge the funding of this event by the UZH Graduate Campus via its GRC G rant\, the NCCR MARVEL and the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre.\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n The National Centres of Competence i n Research (NCCR) are a research instrument of the Swiss National Science Foundation.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n  \n\n\nhttps://tcevents.chem.uzh.ch/event/12/ LOCATION:University of Zurich ZOOM URL:https://tcevents.chem.uzh.ch/event/12/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
