InterPore News featuring the Call for New Minisymposia

Sent on: 01-09-2025

Dear InterPore colleagues,

A (reoccurring) personal and favorite observation is the diversity of disciplines and interests within InterPore. Sightseeing in Nantes going from classical buildings to modern shipyards, for example. Similar to my trip to Koper, Slovenia, this week, where one could lean against a beautiful 15th-century Praetorian Palace while watching a massive container terminal in full swing.

This diversity includes - if I may say so - the spectrum between theoreticians and engineers. The new InterPore Journal highlights a new article on machine learning. Undoubtedly very valuable and crucial for further technical developments. Still, as a scientist, I myself want to learn how things work instead of a machine learning it for me. It is probably just a sign of me finding it hard to acknowledge that I am not as intelligent as my artificial counterparts.

At least I still write my own editorials without AI, but with Managing Editor Leslie as support. Would this be the first disclaimer for manual work instead of AI? ;-)

All the best,

Matthijs de Winter
