Information related to CoVid-19

As restrictions or mitigation measures are lifted across the CECAM network, events are taking place more and more in-person. Please visit our program for all upcoming online, onsite and hybrid events.

Details on actions at HQ and the Nodes can be found scrolling new items on this page.

Information related to CoVid-19: Events at HQ

In Switzerland, all measures related to CoVid-19 have been lifted by the government. Most importantly, it is no longer mandatory to get tested or show a COVID certificate to enter the country, attend an indoor event or go to the restaurant.

More details on the current guidelines and constraints can be found by clicking on READ MORE.

Information related to CoVid-19: Events at the Nodes

Organisers should coordinate with the hosting Node Director for any decision regarding their event, including potential local CoVid-19 restrictions and the possibility to hold hybrid events with the Node’s infrastructure.

Participants should refer to organisers for information on specific events.

Thank you for your collaboration and understanding.

Events

Centre Européen de Calcul Atomique et Moléculaire

CECAM (Centre Européen de Calcul Atomique et Moléculaire) is an organization devoted to the promotion of fundamental research on advanced computational methods and to their application to important problems in frontier areas of science and technology. As the name suggests, the traditional focus of CECAM has been atomistic and molecular simulations, applied to the physics and chemistry of condensed matter. Over the last twenty years, powerful advances in computer hardware and software have supported the extension of these methods to a wide range of problems in materials science, biology and medicinal chemistry.
