To push the boundaries of e-science closer to realistic applications, and to improve our understanding of chemical and physical phenomena, development of methods and models at all levels is needed, from the electronic scale to coarse-grained simulations. Not least, we must find ways to combine methods in a powerful and creative fashion to bridge the different time and length gaps in a seamless fashion. The national e-science programme eSSENCE – where Uppsala University, Lund University and Umeå University are partners – now welcomes you to the meeting
At this meeting, we will use the word “materials” in a broad sense, i.e. also including molecules and molten materials (liquids). Colleagues from our national sister program SeRC, as well as other e-science actors or interested colleagues are welcome to participate. Senior researchers, postdocs and PhD students are all equally welcome.
Scientific contributions: Posters will be accompanied by short oral poster presentations – you are most welcome to sign up to present a poster! There will also be a few slots for contributed 15-minute oral presentations. Do this on 21 May at the latest! Registration Form
Registration: The meeting and the dinner and lunch will be free of charge to registered participants. Do this on 21 May at the latest! Registration Form
