CECAM is at the @Psik_Network Conference in Lausanne, Switzerland!
Come and see us at the CECAM booth to learn more about our activities & about Lhumos, a growing repository of training material in quantum and classical simulations of matter.
CECAM sponsors FameLab, promoting exciting science & engineering talks for the public.
👉 Join us for the Swiss finals on Sept 24 in Bern!
Participants have 3 minutes to impress judges & crowd. The winner will represent Switzerland at the FameLab International final by Cheltenham Science Festivals.
Yes we do! We try to implement the recommandations by the participants, if they are feasible of course.
Today wrapped up our 4th summer school on Economic Principles in Cell Biology organized by @economic-cell.bsky.social at the beautiful @univie.ac.at 🤩
Huge thanks to all the students, teachers and @cecamevents.bsky.social for the support! ✨️
See you next year!
Inside a conference room, people sit in wooden chairs. We can only see their backs. Everyone is paying attention to the speaker, standing at the front to the left. There is also a presentation projected at the front. The presentation slide shows information about "Generation of clean fuel from water."
Five people standing in front of the Panthéon in Paris. It is a big cobblestone place, different tourists in the background. The group of five looks directly into the camera. Behind them is the Panthéon building, consisting of sic pillars and a triangular roof with stone carved decorations. On the left and right side of the picture are also some typical city flat buildings and above them grey cloudy sky.
PhD researcher @robincurth.bsky.social joined the @cecamevents.bsky.social workshop on simulating electrochemical storage devices @sorbonne-universite.fr in Paris!
Showcasing strategies for next-gen batteries such as ML-based force fields to model interfacial processes & predict ionic conductivity.
14 individuals stood together outdoors.
C-CAS folks and other members of the data chemistry community got together following the recent @cecamevents.bsky.social workshop hosted at @notredame.bsky.social.
