MATSim User Meeting 2025

June 12–13 2025       Munich, Germany

The MATSim Association held its User Meeting 2025 after the hEART Conference at the Technical University of Munich, Germany. The meeting ran over two days, 12–13 June 2025.

The MATSim Association Annual General Meeting was co-located at the event, and convened at 12 p.m. CET on 13 June 2025.

The meeting featured a full programme of scientific presentations, software demonstrations, and discussions among researchers and practitioners.
