Workflows Community Summit 2025 - Amsterdam

Converging Paradigms for Shaping the Future of Scientific Workflows Across the Computing Continuum

Workflows Community Summit 2025 - Amsterdam

June 6, 2025 — 9:00-17:00 CEST — Amsterdam, NL
Matrix Innovation Center, Amsterdam Science Park



The Workflows Community Summit 2025 (Amsterdam) will convene experts from around the world to explore emerging challenges and opportunities in scientific workflows. As research becomes increasingly complex, emerging paradigms provide new avenues and opportunities for scientific discovery. Workflow design and composition become even more crucial to addressing user challenges and effectively using the latest technologies.

This summit will examine critical developments across five key areas: the convergence of serverless and edge-to-cloud workflows, practices for AI-driven computation, the integration of quantum and classical resources, application-centric infrastructure Design, human-centered approaches & policy reform. Underpinning these focus areas, the summit will address essential cross-cutting themes of data management, sustainability, and reproducibility that impact all workflow paradigms. Through interactive sessions and collaborative discussions, participants will help shape the future of scientific workflows to better serve the evolving needs of researchers while addressing crucial challenges in scalability, accessibility, and long-term viability. The summit builds upon previous years’ insights while embracing new directions in workflow research and development.
