✅ Call for Participants and Speakers 13th OKUCC


While the OpenFOAM Workshop brings together users from around the world, OKUCC is Asia’s leading OpenFOAM community event, connecting Korea’s industrial, academic, and research communities.


With its open-source code and high extensibility, OpenFOAM provides a powerful foundation for integrating AI and CFD. OKUCC goes beyond sharing research achievements and industrial applications. It serves as a forum for technical exchange where we can prepare together for the emerging era of AI-CFD, in which automation, data, and physics-based knowledge come together.


OKUCC stands for OpenFOAM Korea Users’ Community Conference. Led by NEXTFOAM, the conference has been organized in cooperation with related institutions and industry partners. Researchers, engineers, professors, students, and other OpenFOAM users gather in one place to share their technical knowledge and practical experience.


First launched in 2012, OKUCC has continued its journey for 15 years. In 2026, we are pleased to welcome you to the 13th OKUCC.


✅ Participant Registration

  • Deadline: August 20
  • Date: September 3 (Thu) – September 4 (Fri), 2026

  • Language Notice

Please note that the conference, including presentations and discussions, will be conducted in Korean.

English interpretation and other foreign-language support will not be provided. Therefore, participants who do not speak Korean may experience difficulty fully following the presentations, discussions, and other conference activities.


✅ Call for Speakers

Deadline: July 31

We are inviting speakers to share their OpenFOAM-related research, industrial applications, development experience, and technical knowledge.

Regular Presentation: Open format, approximately 15 minutes
Speaker Application: Applications may be submitted with a presentation title only
Presentation Format: In-person presentation
Speaker Appreciation Gift: A KRW 100,000 gift voucher will be provided to each speaker

Please note that presentations should also be delivered in Korean, as the conference will be conducted primarily in Korean.


✅ Splash Talk

For the first time this year, we will also host a Splash Talk session, where participants can freely share their experiences and ideas in approximately five minutes.

We welcome a wide variety of topics, including:

  • OpenFOAM, CFD, CAE, HPC, and AI applications
  • Practical engineering experience
  • Challenges, failures, and lessons learned
  • Technical tips and useful workflows
  • New ideas and experimental approaches

You are welcome to share any practical or technical topic in a relaxed and informal format.

Applications are currently open for both participants and speakers. We warmly invite everyone interested in OpenFOAM and AI-CFD to join us.


A small commemorative gift will be prepared for every participant, and a prize drawing will also be held during the conference.

Share your OpenFOAM experience and help shape the future of AI-CFD.

We look forward to seeing you at the 13th OKUCC.
