*** New: UPDATED program (30 May) ***
Additional information (transportation, maps, etc.)
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 welcome you the third national meeting on multiscale materials modelling, welcomes the SeRC program, the Chalmers e-science initiative and all others interested to the meeting
Colleagues from our national sister program SeRC, from the Chalmers e-science initiative as well as all other e-science actors or interested colleagues are warmly welcome to participate. Senior researchers, postdocs and PhD students are all equally welcome.
Program: We use the word “materials” in a broad sense, i.e. including molecules, liquids and interfaces. Day 1 will start at 13.00 and end with a poster session, drinks and a buffet dinner. Part of Day 2 will be focused around Quality issues like “Where are the bottlenecks?” “Does industry trust the result of modelling – and should they?” “How can we improve the predictability of our results?” The meeting ends around 12.00 on Day 3.
Among our invited speakers are:
Key-note speakers:
- Professor Michele Parrinello (ETH)
“Challenges and Perspectives in Computational Materials Modelling” - Dr. Anthony Reilly (Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre)
“Crystal-structure prediction – blind tests, progress and challenges” - Prof. Lennart Lindfors (Astrazeneca, Sweden)
“In silico prediction of drug solubility – does it work?” - Prof. Sven Lidin (Lund University)
“Why better experimental data needs more modelling”
Invited speakers:
- Professor Philippe Bopp (Université Bordeaux)
“Combining Interaction Models is not Without Danger” - Professor Aatto Laaksonen (SU)
