Verification, Validation, and Uncertainty Quantification Symposium 2026
In-Person Event
Vanderbilt University of Engineering
Nashville, Tennessee, USA
May 18–22, 2026

Your Home for Innovation in Computational Modeling

The World of Verification, Validation, and Uncertainty Quantification is Coming in 2026.

As we enter the age of AI and machine learning, it's clear that computational modeling is the way of the future. Make sure you and your team are on the cutting edge of the industry by joining your colleagues and the leading industry experts May 20-22, 2026 in a city TBD.

At this event, attendees will exchange ideas on the assessment of uncertainties in mathematical models, computational solutions, and experimental data; the verification of codes and solutions; simulation validation; and more.

"The networking was fantastic. The group that attended was from a wide range of fields and backgrounds. The networking reception on the patio was really useful." — 2024 Attendee

Why Attend VVUQ

This three-day symposium will bring industry experts and key researchers together to cover some of the most pressing topics and questions in the discipline. We will feature dozens of sessions on topics in VVUQ Methods, VVUQ Standards Development, and Applied VVUQ in areas such as Medical Devices, Advanced Manufacturing, and Machine Learning/ Artificial Intelligence.

We will also offer networking opportunities, town halls, and other ways to connect with the researchers and industry leaders who will be attending the event. This will be a great opportunity for you to get to know others in your field, ask your questions directly to the researchers who pioneered VVUQ, and maybe even find your next research or industry partner.
