Dear colleagues,

We would like to draw your attention to the B9 Symposium "Theory-guided Development Structural Materials" organized as a part of the EUROMAT 2021 conference, which will be held September 12-16, 2021, in Graz, Austria.

The abstract submission deadline on January 31, 2021, is approaching fast, so please submit your abstract soon!

This symposium will cover, but is not limited to, the following range of topics:

• Ab initio simulations
• Atomistic modeling
• Data-driven approaches in atomistic simulations, including ML/AI
• Coarse-graining techniques
• Dislocation-based modeling
• Multi-scale modeling
• Experimental techniques for validation of multi-scale models

For more details, please see the attached flyer.

We truly believe that it will be possible to meet face-to-face and that this major Materials Science orientated meeting will gain even more importance after the current pandemic.

We would be grateful if you could help to spread this information among your colleagues. Thank you very much in advance and looking forward to seeing you in Graz!

David Holec, Helena Zapolky and Martin Friák,
organizers of the B9 Symposium
