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.
Updates on 2020 and 2021 CECAM Psi-k Research Co ... (No replies)
Back to General announcements...
Dear Colleagues and Friends,
we write with some updates on plans for joint CECAM Psi-k activities. As you may know, this year’s CECAM Psi-k Conference:
New horizons in nucleation: a playground for classical and ab initio simulation methods
planned at the Thomas Young Center in London for the end of July 2020 has been postponed due to the uncertainties on health safety and travel caused by CoVid-19. This conference will be held in 2021. New dates are not available yet, but will be communicated as soon as possible. Please keep also an eye on the Conference website and on http://www.psi-k.net and http://www.cecam.org for up-to-date information.
The pandemic has also caused the postponement of the Psi-k 2020 conference, originally scheduled for September 2020 in Lausanne. This important event will be held at the same location on August 23-26 2021 with the announced format, plenary speakers and symposia, including two sessions co-organised with CECAM.
Considering these postponements, the potential uncertainty on travel next year, and the already rich program of events that both organisations plan to fund (or co-fund) in 2021, CECAM and Psi-k have decided to skip the 2020 call for proposals for the CECAM Psi-k conference.
We hope that you will understand the reasons for this decision, and wish to assure you that we are committed to continuing our fruitful collaboration for many years to come. The call for the CECAM Psi-k Conference will be back in 2021!
Best regards,
Ignacio Pagonabarraga, Director, CECAM
Nicola Marzari, Chairperson, Psi-k
