Insigneo/Sano Modelathon 2026:
Multiscale Computational Modelling in Ischaemic Stroke Research
On 13–16 January 2026, the Insigneo/Sano Modelathon 2026 will take place—an international event dedicated to the application of computational modelling and simulation in research on ischaemic stroke. This year’s edition will be held in a hybrid format, running in parallel in Sheffield (United Kingdom) and Kraków, with the active involvement of Sano – Centre for Computational Personalised Medicine.
Modelathon – a collaborative research sprint
Modelathon is an intensive, team-based research format inspired by hackathons, but focused on the development, integration and validation of computational models, rather than software development alone. Working in interdisciplinary teams, participants will address clinically grounded challenges, developing models and simulations that reflect real-world medical problems.
Multiscale models in the context of ischaemic stroke
The central theme of the 2026 edition is multiscale modelling (0D, 1D, 3D) of physiological and pathological processes related to ischaemic stroke. Participants will focus on integrating models of varying levels of complexity with:
- high-performance computing (HPC),
- reproducible computational workflows,
- and a translational approach aimed at bridging in silico research and clinical practice.
International collaboration between Sheffield and Kraków
The Modelathon is jointly organised by:
- Insigneo Institute for in silico Medicine (University of Sheffield),
- Sano – Centre for Computational Personalised Medicine in Kraków.
The event provides a platform for collaboration among researchers from medicine, biomedical engineering, computer science, applied mathematics and computational sciences, strengthening international knowledge exchange and the development of advanced in silico methods.
