Dear Colleagues,

This is to announce the Game of Materials conference that will take place on October 30th - November 2nd, 2018 - in Dubrovnik, Croatia (hotel Rixos Libertas).

Please see http://gom.irb.hr for details, and read more below!

Register before 1st of July to take advantage of early bird fees.

Summary:

The conference is aimed towards every researcher in the field of materials science, solid state physics (and beyond that). Its purpose is to show what we can do today in practically every field - from catalysis, surface science, plasmonics, nanodevices to high throughput search for novel materials using machine learning and AI.

It will offer 26 invited talks by leading experts in the field of computational/theoretical materials science. Conference will also have a large poster session with experimental contributions as well.

It shows younger researchers (PhD students and postdocs) in which direction they can continue their career in the next postdoc or starting their own group. For senior researchers it offers a broad view of possible directions to extend collaborations.

Experimentalists should benefit the most by seeing what the state of the art theoretical research has to offer - making a contact and discussing collaborations.
