Join us for the upcoming workshop on

 “Material Science: Modeling & Design in Action”

 This workshop will bring together leading experts and researchers to discuss the latest advances in computational and experimental approaches for material design. The event will focus on real-world applications, highlighting innovative methodologies and emerging trends in the field. Topics will include machine learning, generative AI, computational methods such as DFT, thermodynamic modeling (CALPHAD), multiscale modeling, high-throughput characterization, and materials design for structure-property relationships.

 📅 Date: Wednesday, May 21 (13:30) – Thursday, May 22 (12:00)

📍 Location: NIMS Auditorium, Namiki Site, Tsukuba, Japan

Registration is free but mandatory (includes meals and the banquet on the evening of May 21). Participants are encouraged to submit titles for oral or poster contributions.

👉 Register now on the dedicated page! (deadline April 27th)

We look forward to insightful discussions and exciting collaborations!
