Registration is now open for the Midlands Computational Chemistry Meeting, taking place on the 16th April at the University of Lincoln. The meeting this one-day event is an opportunity to meet other computational chemists in the region and hear about the great work our students and colleagues are doing. We define Midlands as anywhere where you can travel to Lincoln for a day.

Registration: https://www.ccp5.ac.uk/cp2kreg

 

Registration is free, thanks to the generous support of the Royal Society of Chemistry Faraday Division and the Institute of Physics Computational Physics Group.

 

We invite abstracts for contributed oral presentations and posters. Preference for contributed oral presentations will be given to postgraduate students, postdocs and recently appointed academics.

We have three invited speakers showcasing a variety of Computational Chemistry research:

• Prof. Jamshed Anwar (University of Lancaster) – modelling organic molecular assemblies, soft matter and solutions
• Prof. Elena Besley (University of Nottingham) – development of theoretical models and modelling of materials on the nanoscale
• Dr. Jonathan Skelton (University of Manchester) – computational materials science and condensed matter

The meeting will be followed by a one-day hands-on workshop on CP2K quantum chemistry software (17th April). The one-day workshop is aimed at new and intermediate-level users of CP2K, to learn about current developments and to practice hands-on exercises with guidance from experienced users.

You can use the registration link to register for either one or both of the events.

Abstract submission closes on the 20th March. Registration closes on the 3rd April.

We are looking forward to seeing you in Lincoln,

Natalia Martsinovich and Matt Watkins
