Dear Psi-k Community, 

We would like to draw your attention to the EUROMAT2021, https://www.euromat2021.org/, a conference on materials science and technology taking place in Graz this year, 12-16.9.2021. We see good chances that the event will take place in real-life.

We are organizing the symposium D6 entitled “Atomic Scale Modelling of Advanced Materials –Ab Initio, Molecular Dynamics and Monte-Carlo Simulations”. https://www.euromat2021.org/downloads/symposia/D/D6.pdf

The call for abstracts is open, the deadline is 31.1.2021. The keynote lecture will be given by Ralf Drautz. Highlight lecturers include Shigenobu Ogata, Silvia Picozzi, Gabor Csanyi (tentative), Blazej Grabowski, and Markus Aichhorn.  

Targeted topics include:

• Novel theoretical approaches allowing for improvement of reliability of theoretical simulations, e.g. improved description of many-electron effects in ab initio simulations
• Ab initio simulations at finite temperature
• Treatment of magnetic effects in atomistic simulations
• Improved coarse-graining techniques for multiscale modeling
• Increasing time and length scales of atomistic simulation
• Data-driven approaches in atomistic simulations, including ML/AI

With best wishes,

Marcel Sluiter, Matous Mrovec and Lorenz Romaner
