Algorithms and methods to couple and link multiple model types are often needed to tackle some of the most challenging problems in materials' simulations. Developing these represents both a complex and fascinating intellectual challenge, and a pressing need to tackle realistic systems in applied and industrial research.

This expert meeting, convened by the European Materials Modelling Council (http://www.emmc.info) and hosted by CECAM, aims to gather some of the foremost experts across different domain areas, with the goal of identifying a roadmap for coupling and linking simulations that can act as a manifesto for the field, and inform future policy makers of the algorithmic and methodological developments needed and of their relevance and role in accelerating simulation-driven innovation.

In addition to the invited speakers, self-funded participants will be chosen among the applicants, up to 50 total attendees.
