Welcome to ECMOR 2026

"Mathematical Modelling and Simulation for Sustainable Subsurface Energy Systems"

On behalf of EAGE and the ECMOR scientific committee, we are pleased to announce the 20th European Conference on the Mathematics of Geological Reservoirs, ECMOR 2026. The conference will be held in Porto, Portugal as a 3-day event, preceded by a one-day workshop focusing on the modelling of hydrogen storage. Save the dates September 8-11, 2026 for attending this twentieth edition of ECMOR. 

Mathematical modeling and simulation of the subsurface are essential tools for achieving UN Sustainable Development Goals 7 (Affordable & Clean Energy) and 13 (Climate Action). They play a critical role in planning and managing subsurface activities such as geological carbon storage and hydrogen storage, while addressing risks and optimizing engineering solutions. The integration of artificial intelligence further enhances their efficiency, paving the way for innovative approaches.

For more than 30 years, ECMOR has brought together applied mathematicians, engineers and geoscientists from academia, government, and industry, who share an interest in the numerical modelling of underground geologic systems. ECMOR has a tradition of featuring significant scientific and engineering breakthroughs in its focus areas. At this coming ECMOR, in addition to CO2 sequestration, we highlight the importance of large-scale energy storage with hydrogen as a way to mitigate the intermittency of renewable energies. ECMOR 2026 invites contributions on a wide range of topics related to computational modelling of the subsurface, including physical modelling, numerical methods, uncertainty quantification, optimization, machine learning, and software engineering .
