We are pleased to announce the 2019 Computational Chemistry and Material Science (CCMS) Summer Institute, which will take place from June 3 - August 9, 2019 at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL).

The goal of the Summer Institute is to provide graduate students with the opportunity to work directly with LLNL researchers on the development and application of cutting-edge methods in computational materials science and chemistry and other related areas. The 2019 CCMS Summer Institute will have a special focus on "Data Science Challenges in Materials and Chemistry" to highlight challenges and research opportunities in the development and application of data analytics to optimization of existing materials and
to searching for yet unknown materials with desirable properties.

Each student will spend ten weeks at LLNL as a guest of an LLNL host scientist working on a computational project in the host's area of expertise. In addition, leading researchers from universities and national labs will give a series of mini-courses for the students. These courses will cover state-of-the-art and emerging computational methods in materials science and chemistry. The past CCMS lectures can be found here:
