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.

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

EPFL has prohibited professional or educational travel within Switzerland and abroad until the 19^th of April. Inviting visitors to the EPFL campus is also forbidden until further notice. Organisers of events in April and May will be contacted immediately to discuss postponement or means to hold the meeting remotely. Organisers of later events will be contacted at the latest three weeks before the planned start date. All standard channels of communication with organisers and participants are available. Participants should refer firstly to organisers for information on specific events.

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.

PRACE call for proposals requesting computing resources to contribute to the mitigation of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The PhD project includes a semester to spend at the University of Manchester in the department of proton-therapy. The local supervisors are one physicist and one biologist. The expected candidate is a mathematician, physicist or chemist with sufficient background in biophysics theory, modelling and numerical simulation; life-sciences students can be accepted provided they have a consistent background in maths. The monthly salary at 2,130 eur net of taxes is quite attractive for French standards.

This has been a very successful  event, shaped by CECAM’s  mission:  enabling scientists to meet in an atmosphere that combines excellence and open discussions and paves the way for new scientific perspectives and collaborations. The conference has brought together old and new friends to discuss state of the art methods and current challenges, celebrate 50 remarkable years of activities, and reflect on the future of CECAM and of our scientific field.
