General announcements

Messages from the Psi-k trustees and other topics of relevance to the Psi-k community, e.g. community-led software codes or databases…

Due to the large number of posts recently, there is currently a delay of several weeks between posts being submitted and the corresponding emails being distributed to all users. Please bear with us while we try to improve this. In the meantime – and until this notice is removed – it would assist us considerably if you could submit only important and/or urgent posts and thus help to reduce the size of the mail queue. Under no circumstances should you resend posts multiple times when you find the emails are not distributed immediately.

In light of the Russian military offensive in Ukraine, we request that announcements relating to events, jobs and other activities associated with institutions supported by the Russian and Belarusian states are not posted to the Psi-k forum.

Dear all,

a new user interface has been developed for the

NoMaD (Novel Materials Discovery) Repository -- http://NoMaD-Repository.eu/ together with the Max Planck Computing and Data Facility http://www.mpcdf.mpg.de/. We invite you to join by uploading your data. Many users have done so already.

Why may you like to join?

1) Data are securely stored for at least 10 years. This is requested by many European and US funding agencies. It also helps you to retrieve what was done in your own group some time ago.
2) Sharing data from computational materials science will help everyone in the field: The NoMaD Repository enables the confirmatory analysis of materials data, their reuse, and re-purposing. Have a look at our YouTube movies on the concept (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-nmRSH4NQM) and a basic tutorial (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Xfzj-degqc).

Let us also mention in passing that the application for a

European Center of Excellence (CoE) for NovelMaterials Discovery (NOMAD) was successful. This involves 8 top scientific groups and 4 high performance computer centers. The main goals of the NOMAD CoE are the creation of a Materials Encyclopedia and the development of Big-Data Analytics tools for materials.The list of PIs and their groups, can be found on our preliminary web page at, http://NOMAD-CoE.eu. Soon we will describe more.
