Paris International School on Advanced Computational Materials Science PISACMS, August 2025

[Ari Paavo Seitsonen (apsi)]

Dear Colleagues,

    PISACMS is back! After eight editions in Paris and one sister school in Bengaluru, please find the 1st announcement of the 9th edition of "Paris International School on Advanced Computational Materials Science (PISACMS)", which will be held from Sunday August 24th to Sunday August 31st, 2025, at the Campus Pierre et Marie Curie of the Sorbonne Université, in the heart of the Latin Quarter of central Paris.

    The aim of this School is to form young generations of researchers (PhD students, postdocs, young assistant professors) to atomic, molecular and condensed phase computational methods, from theory to the most advanced approaches, going from the very microscopic to the macroscopic: Density functional theory, classical Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics, ab initio molecular dynamics, meta-dynamics, linear response, lattice-Boltzmann methods, quantum Monte Carlo, path-integrals and machine learning approaches. Our ambition is to make students aware of the fundamental principles of each methods, and then able to choose the most adapted one(s) for a given scientific problem. The broad panel of approaches we propose, both via theory lessons and computer lab "projects", is unique.

    This School benefits both from the exceptional central Paris environment, and from the local concentration of young and confirmed expert-teachers in each specific theme of the School.

    The PISACMS website is now open with full details and pre-registration:

https://PISACMS.SciencesConf.org/.

    Please note the important practical information:

1.  Full inscription fee: 500 euros. This includes 7-nights lodging in a student residence in Paris, and mid-day meals. Discounted price is available for participants not needing accommodation
2.  Maximum number of participants: 40 (first registered & paid, first served policy)
3.  Pre-registration deadline: May 1st, 2025

    Please do not hesitate to contact us for further details.
 
       Sincerely Yours,
