Welcome to the homepage of CCP5 . CCP5 is the Collaborative Computational Project for computer simulation of condensed phases and is funded predominantly by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) of United Kingdom. It was founded more than 30 years ago to promote the involvement of UK scientists in collaborative research in this area; follow the link for further information about the history of CCP5. Please browse our website to find more about our activities, our projects and people. Join the network to find about new opportunities about PhD or PostDoc positions, student scholarships, conferences and workshops supported by CCP5. Researchers in universities and public research labs can use, free of charge, the vast collection of supported and contributed software for non-commercial purposes. Please note that you can get in touch with our software team for any problems related to currently supported software. CCP5 encourages industrial engagement in many ways - via our workshops and conferences, which often have dedicated industry days, our "Simulation for the Experimentalist and Industrialist" course, student bursary scheme, software and members' expertise.
CCP5 (Computational Collaboration Project 5 - simulation of condensed matter (ccp5.ac.uk) wishes to strengthen links between the CCP5
community by supporting and funding three initiatives, Undergraduate bursaries, postgraduate Industrial placements, and the visitor program.
More details and how to apply below.
Undergraduate bursaries
Several student bursaries for collaborative summer projects are available. The scheme provides funds for students enrolled in a UK University to carry out a computational-based project over the summer. The maximum available financial support per bursary is £3000. The closing date for applications is midnight 29th of April 2022. The CCP5 executive committee will decide soon thereafter which proposals are funded (details on the assessment and eligibility criteria can be found in the application form). Priority will be given to new applicants.

Postgraduate Industrial Placements
Few bursaries are available for PhD students enrolled in a UK University to carry out an industrial placement. Applicants can request up to £3,000 to cover living and travel costs. (Please note that VISA costs cannot be covered). The deadline for applications is 29th of April 2022. The CCP5 executive committee will decide soon thereafter which proposals are funded (details on the assessment and eligibility criteria can be found in the application form).

Visitors program
CCP5 will sponsor a distinguished visitor for a lecture tour across UK and Northern Ireland. The visitor can be an academic at a foreign University or a Scientist from an overseas Research Institution or from industry. The visitor can visit UK Universities and Research Centers. Tour that involves more than one institution will be prioritized. Up to £2500 can be requested to cover accommodation and travel cost (VISA costs are not covered). Details on the assessment and eligibility criteria can be found in the application form. The CCP5 executive committee will decide soon thereafter which proposals are funded (details on the assessment and eligibility criteria can be found in the application form).
