The eSSENCE-EMMC Meeting 

"Multiscale modelling of materials and molecules 2024"

Time:  Thursday 13  June,  15:00- 17:00  CEST  

Venue: This is an online meeting.

Future modelling strategies for materials and molecules are likely to combine physics-based and data-driven approaches in many new ways. And new strategies will emerge to bridge the scales in multiscale modelling, to identify new materials relations and descriptors, and (perhaps) embark on entirely new fields. This year's*  eSSENCE-EMMC meeting will feature two excellent speakers on the topic of multiscale modelling, one focussing on the "smaller entities", one on the "larger entities" along the multiscale ladder.

o Professor James Kermode   (School of Engineering, The University of Warwick, UK)

"Modelling at the Atomistic and Electronic Structure Scales  −  enhanced by Machine Learning"

o Professor Wolfgang Wenzel (Institute of Nanotechnology, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, DE)

"Virtual materials design beyond the Atomic Scales"

TOPICS THAT WILL ALSO BE INTEGRATED INTO THE LECTURES ARE: 

• Efficient surrogates for electronic structure models 

• Are there already universal force-fields ("foundation models") that can describe everything?

• The importance of robust uncertainty estimates

• From atomistic to continuum via kinetic Monte Carlo

• Do we/people have realistic expectations of what multiscale modelling can achieve?

• Fundamental aspects and industrially relevant applications.

... and of course

• Physics-based versus data-driven modelling

You are most welcome to participate and discuss with the speakers!

* This meeting is a continuation of our series of annual eSSENCE-EMMC meetings held in June on-site in Uppsala since many years. Only this year, it's virtual.
