The 1st Simulation-Based Inference Blueprint workshop will take place on the 26th and 27th February, 2026 at CERN. The workshop aims to summarize the current status of statistical techniques and software tooling for Simulation-Based Inference (SBI) at the LHC, and to identify both short-term and long-term goals for projects in this area. A key objective is to bring together the LHC community to map out the main stages of an SBI analysis and to establish shared abstractions, requirements, and broadly applicable standards and validations for the statistical model used in SBI across experiments.
The primary outcome of the workshop will be a blueprint write-up documenting the discussions, capturing the community-agreed inter-experimental standards and conventions, and outlining a roadmap for near-term priorities as well as longer-term strategies for SBI in high-energy physics. We also hope the workshop will facilitate new collaborations in SBI toolkit development by connecting existing efforts and helping coordinate work toward common goals.
Registrations are now open. Note that in-person registrations closes on 15th of February.
