Welcome to the SKIRT Days 2022 (30 Nov. - 2 Dec.)
The UGent SKIRT team happily invites current and future SKIRT users, developers and collaborators to attend the upcoming SKIRT Days, from Wednesday 30 November to Friday 2 December in Ghent.
Program
This SKIRT meeting aims at presenting the latest technical developments, showcasing recent scientific results, and discussing ongoing and/or planned research in the broad SKIRT community. In addition, there will be a collaborative workspace for one-on-one discussions in an informal setting.
The two main scientific themes will be:
- Post-processing cosmological hydrodynamical simulations
- Radiative transfer in AGN circumnuclear media
The SKIRT Days will start at 9:30 a.m. on Wednesday and end at 13:00 on Friday (with the possibility for further discussions in the afternoon). A detailed timetable will be published later.

Lodging
Ghent is a popular tourist destination, with many hotels and AirBnB's. Room availability should be fine in this period of the year, yet we recommend to book soon.
Covid-19
The SKIRT Days are organised as an in-person meeting in Ghent. At this time, there are no covid-related restrictions in Belgium. We will closely follow the development of the pandemic over the next months.
