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 now closed, but all NIMS and external researchers are welcome to attend the workshop talks as free listeners. Those who registered before the end of April (including poster and oral presenters) will have access to the provided lunches on May 21 and 22, as well as the banquet on the evening of May 21.

We look forward to insightful discussions and exciting collaborations!

Local contacts: J-C. Crivello (jean-claude.crivello _at_ cnrs.fr), G. Lambard (NIMS), T. Abe (NIMS)
