Information related to CoVid-19

CECAM is monitoring the situation and working to mitigate disruption of activities while ensuring strict compliance with restrictions and precautions. The health and safety of our guests and staff is our key concern. Our priority is to minimise - as much as possible - risks and to fulfil our responsibilities towards the community and our hosting institutions.

Information related to CoVid-19: Events at HQ

The number of cases in Switzerland is unfortunately stagnating at a relatively high level and the public-health situation remains a major concern. Therefore, amongst other measures, EPFL has decided that no event is permitted on its campus, until 4 June 2021.

Organisers of events at HQ have been contacted individually and informed of CECAM’s policy for 2021 Flagship events. This policy has been set in place to mitigate the impact of the pandemic on the 2021 and future Flagship programs.

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 by clicking on READ MORE. Thank you for your understanding and collaboration in this crisis.

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.

The importance of being H.P.C. Earnest

The power of simulation and modeling is intimately related to the available computational resources, to the community’s awareness of these resources, and to its proficiency in their optimal exploitation. In these weekly webinars we explore High Performance Computing as an enabler of new science…with a focus on the science!
