SCW75 honourees at the show but not pictured were Thomas Lippert, Professor for Computer Science, University of Frankfurt and FIAS and Director at Jülich Supercomputing Centre, Wojciech Turek from The University of Cambridge and Thomas Jurlich from Forschungzentrum Jurlich.

The inaugural SCW75 came to life at ISC High Performance 2026 in Hamburg, where a number of this year's honourees were presented with their official SCW75 certificates in person. Held at Europe's leading conference and exhibition for HPC, AI and quantum computing, ISC provided the perfect backdrop to celebrate the people driving innovation across research computing.

Throughout the week, Scientific Computing World welcomed recipients to its stand to recognise their achievements and thank them for their outstanding contributions to high-performance computing, simulation, laboratory informatics and research data management. The accompanying photo gallery captures just some of the inspiring individuals who make up the inaugural SCW75 community.

Congratulations once again to everyone recognised in the SCW75 Class of 2026. We look forward to following your achievements as you continue to shape the future of scientific computing.
