Webinars are a new adventure for CECAM, we hope that you will enjoy experimenting with us on the possibilities offered by this tool to share exciting science with the community. This format offers an interesting opportunity to facilitate access to our activities for a broader community and, while our love of the informal and productive environment of face-to-face meetings is unchanged, we plan to explore its potential as a complementary tool to our workshops and schools. Keep an eye on this page if you are curious about our series and do not hesitate to contact us if you have suggestions or if you plan to submit a webinar proposal (alternative format) in this year CECAM Flagship call.

TREX - CECAM WEBINAR: Quantum Monte Carlo HPC Applications in Condensed Matter, Quantum Chemistry and Materials Science


25 January 2024 | 09:30 -12:00 CET

Join us for a deep dive into the cutting edge of quantum materials research and quantum chemistry at the upcoming webinar on "Quantum Monte Carlo HPC Applications in Condensed Matter, Quantum Chemistry, and Materials Science" on January 25, 2024, from 09:30 to 12:00 CET. The webinar is a collaborative effort between the Targeting Real Chemical Accuracy at the EXascale (TREX) project and CECAM (Centre Européen de Calcul Atomique et Moléculaire).
