Within the framework of this symposium, the principal advisors of the GRK 2423 FRASCAL projects will contribute their own insights into the fracture problem from a higher-level perspective in six presentations and provide a basis for stimulating discussions and interaction with colleagues from around the world.

On June 14, 2021, GRK 2423 FRASCAL, in collaboration with IGK 2495, screened the documentary film "PICTURE A SCIENTIST" followed by a (digital) panel discussion. The film tells of the spirit of optimism among women researchers who are writing a new chapter for women scientists. A biologist, a chemist, and a geologist take the audience on a journey through the experiences of their academic careers - as women in science.

The 1st FRASCAL Virtual Colloquium aims to provide a platform to discuss recent advances in computational modeling of fracture at various length and time scales. The event will take place from April 22 to July 22, 2021, and will comprise a series of weekly invited talks by international experts
