Information related to CoVid-19: Events at HQ

Educational and professional travel within Switzerland and abroad is still prohibited from EPFL. Inviting visitors to the EPFL campus is also forbidden until further notice. Organisers of events will be contacted at the latest three weeks before the planned start date to discuss postponement or means to hold the meeting remotely. All standard channels of communication with organisers and participants are available. Participants should refer firstly to organisers for information on specific events. Details about the situation in Switzerland and EPFL can be found clicking on READ MORE. Thank you for your understanding and collaboration in this crisis.

Web Seminar Series on Tribology (WeSST)

The first edition of WeSST, Tribology advances over the next decade, will run from the 26th of May until the end of June 2020. Every week, two experts from academia and industry, experiment and theory, will discuss the pressing challenges of tribology and how we can overcome them.

Upcoming events

Psi-k 2020 (EPFL, Sept. 14-17): Registrations are open!

This is the largest event worldwide in first-principles simulations; it is held every 5 years (the last two editions, in Berlin in 2010 and in San Sebastian in 2015, had more than 1’000 participants each), and with 7 plenary talks, 140 invited talks, and 170 contributed talks it promises to be the most exciting, defining event in the field.

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.
