GRaM Competition @ ICLR 2026
Geometry Meets AI for Science
The GRaM Competition 2026 has been launched as a benchmark challenge in conjunction with the Workshop on Geometry-grounded Representation Learning and Generative Modeling (GRaM).
Participants are invited to model airflow around 3D airfoil geometries inspired by a Formula 1 front wing. The task is to predict future airflow dynamics based on past velocity fields and the underlying geometry, using approaches such as neural operators, graph neural networks, or transformers.
The dataset, provided by BeyondMath, includes simulated airflow across a wide range of geometric configurations, enabling research on sequential point-cloud prediction.
Submissions will be evaluated on a held-out test set. Participants can contribute individually or in teams and submit their solutions via GitHub. All valid submissions will be included in the workshop proceedings, with the option for co-authorship.
The winner will receive the MCML Award, including 500 € in prize money.
The application deadline is April 22, 2026 (AoE).
Further details are available on the official competition website.
