The School program consists of:\n\nClassical molecular dynamics\, intro + hands-on (1 day)\nElectronic structure theory\, intro + hands-on (1 day)\n Special topics in computational chemistry (1 day)\n\nEnhanced sampling met hods\, intro + hands-on (0.5 day)\nPotential energy surface exploration\, intro + hands-on (0.5 day)\n\n\n\nThe school is a must for graduate studen ts in the field\, providing an overview of “what can be calculated and h ow it should be done“\, without forgetting the important aspect of netwo rk building. The intense schedule is also suitable for industrial particip ants to get a hands-on introduction to molecular modelling. To get an idea of the depth in which the topics are covered\, take a look at the materia ls and a blog entry of the 2025 Spring School.\nLearning outcome\nThe lear ning outcome is to gain an overview of the two main branches of computatio nal chemistry — classical molecular dynamics and electronic structure ca lculations — as well as related high-performance computing (HPC) softwar e packages and other useful tools and skills such as workflow automation. The workshop serves also as an intensive crash course in computational mod elling and is useful for students and researchers in physics\, materials s cience and biosciences as well.\nAnother integral aim of the school is to serve as a venue for networking and community-building. We have reserved a mple time for discussions and interaction. We highly encourage you to brin g a poster to help communicate your work and interests!\nPrerequisites\nWo rking knowledge and some hands-on experience in some branch of computation al chemistry will be useful. Basic Linux and Python/Jupyter Notebooks skil ls are required for the hands-on exercises. During the school\, we have on ly limited support available for elementary command-line / Python issues.\ nSoftware used in the school\nGROMACS\, ORCA\, CP2K\, Python\, Jupyter Not ebooks\, etc.\nParticipation fee\nThe school has a participation fee of 18 0 EUR (+ VAT). It covers the lectures\, coffees\, lunches\, poster session snacks\, and the sauna + dinner. A small fee is necessary to cover a part of the costs and to reduce no-show as only limited seats are available.\n Please briefly describe your background\, skills\, and expectations upon r egistration. The registration deadline is at 8th of March 2026\, but as the school is likely to be fully booked\, we recommend you to reserve your seat early. A waiting list will be used in case of cancellations.\nWhile CSC cannot guarantee credits\, as the decision is finally up to your own i nstitute\, we’ll supply a certificate which recommends granting 1 ECTS c redits for each participant.\nLecturers\n\nProf. Antti Karttunen\, Aalto U niversity\, Finland\nProf. Matti Javanainen\, University of Tampere\, Finl and\nDr. Nanna Myllys\, University of Helsinki\, Finland\nDr. Hector Marti nez-Seara\, Czech Academy of Sciences\, Czech Republic\nDr. Atte Sillanpä ä\, CSC-IT Center for Science\, Finland\nDr. Nino Runeberg\, CSC-IT Cente r for Science\, Finland\nDr. Rasmus Kronberg\, CSC-IT Center for Science\, Finland\n\nFunding\nThe school is organized with support from and as a co llaboration between CSC\, EuroCC2 and BioExcel3.\nPlease register here: ht tps://csc.fi/en/training-calendar/csc-spring-school-on-computational-chemi stry-2026/\n\n \n \n\nhttps://spectra-indico-teszt.hinfra.hu/event/332/ URL:https://spectra-indico-teszt.hinfra.hu/event/332/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
