ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

The International Conference on Multigrid and Multiscale Methods in Computational Science (IMG) 2025 offers a dynamic forum for researchers to share advances in Multigrid, multilevel and Multiscale computational techniques, as well as their applications across scientific domains.

Initially launched as the European Multigrid Conference (EMG), this event expanded globally in 2016, evolving into the IMG series. Since the inaugural conference in Cologne in 1981—the first event dedicated to Multigrid methods—it has driven innovation and fostered international collaboration, with notable gatherings in cities such as Amsterdam, Stuttgart, Leuven, and, most recently, Lugano.
