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
EPFL is enacting a gradual reduction of the CoVid-19 related restrictions: events with less than 100 attendees will be allowed again starting on September 1st 2020 and external visitors are now welcome, subject to the criteria set out by the federal government. Organisers of events will be contacted at the latest three weeks before the planned start date to discuss potential restrictions and means to hold the meeting partially or entirely online. 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.

Molecular Simulation 2020: Present, Past and Future
Due to the current situation with the pandemic, the conference will not be taking place in July 2020 as initially planned and it will be postponed to July 2021. Registration is presently closed, more news will be posted later in the year.
The conference is a special event on the occasion of Prof Michael Klein’s 80th birthday to highlight the vitality and future perspectives of the field, starting from his numerous important and remarkable contributions to chemistry, biophysics, materials science, and, in particular, computer simulation.
Psi-k 2020 (EPFL, Sept. 14-17): Registrations are open!
Due to CoVid-19 the conference is postponed to August 23-26, 2021
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.
2020 CECAM call closed
Scientific exchange is precious in these uncertain times. CECAM will continue to serve the community, combining a rigorous selection procedure with adaptable scheduling and managing of the events. Traditional and innovative proposal adapted to the current unfolding scenario are welcome. Let us shape together an exciting and productive 2021 flagship program!
Call closed on 19 July 2020.
