The fifth MARVEL Review and Retreat, gathering all MARVEL members, will take place just after the International Workshop on Computational Design and Discovery of Novel Materials (COMDI 2018), on Wed. September 12, 2018 afternoon. For registering, please see the instructions below.

This webinar is a precursor of Symposium GI01, Machine Learning, AI, and Data-Driven Materials Development and Design, to be held during the 2018 MRS Fall Meeting & Exhibit in Boston.

Visit the COMDI 2018 website! The International Workshop on Computational Design and Discovery of Novel Materials, open to the international community active in the field of MARVEL, will take place on September 10-12, 2018 at the SwissTech Convention Center, Lausanne. Registration is extended until 20 June 2018.

The next annual SPS meeting is organized in collaboration with the Swiss Institute of Particle Physics (CHIPP) and the NCCR MARVEL (Computational Design and Discovery of Novel Materials). The program will consist of the approved mix of plenary talks, topical sessions and poster exhibition. Abstract submission is EXTENDED until Sunday May 13, 2018.

The fourth MARVEL Junior Retreat is organized from July 17 to 20, 2018, @  Hotel Alpenblick in Fieschertal. Registration is still open through the dedicated website.

This workshop, facilitated by Dr Gareth Tribello who is Lecturer in Atomistic Simulation at Queen's University Belfast, is open to NCCR MARVEL PhD students and postdocs, and to their colleagues in research groups associated to MARVEL. There are 30 seats, available on a first come first serve basis. Registration closes on Friday June 29, 2018.

The Platform for Advanced Scientific Computing (PASC) Conference is an interdisciplinary conference in high performance computing organized by the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre (CSCS) that brings together domain science, applied mathematics and computer science - where computer science is focused on enabling the realization of scientific computation. PASC18, the fifth annual PASC Conference, is co-sponsored by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and the PASC structuring project. It is held from July 2 to 4, 2018 at the Congress Center Basel in Basel, Switzerland.

As with all CECAM events, there are no conference fees, but it is essential that students apply soon, as only a limited number of seats can be offered. Due to generous funding from CECAM, Psi-k, and MARVEL, organizers will be able to provide partial funding to cover travel or accommodation to some participants. Review of applications for funding will begin on March 2nd, 2018 and will continue until all funding has been allocated.
