Modelling of Materials: Atomistic and Ab Initio Approaches
The meeting “Modelling of Materials: Atomistic and Ab Initio Approaches” was
held at Mansfield College and the Physical and Theoretical Chemistry Laboratory,
Oxford, from 9-10 April, 2003.
It was co-organised by the RSC Theoretical Chemistry Group and CCP5.
The meeting was concerned with developments in
methodology and algorithms for atomistic and ab initio simulations of materials, as
well as their applications. It consisted of 7 invited lectures, 18 contributed lectures
and 19 contributed posters. The meeting was successful and was felt to be timely,
with the combination of delegates from different areas of materials modelling
working particularly well.
56 people registered for the meeting, of which 43 were residential and 13 non-
residential delegates. 17 of the delegates were postgraduate students (most of whom
presented either a talk or a poster). The majority of the delegates were based in the
UK, though 4 came from overseas (including a postgraduate student from Turkey).
The conference organizers are grateful to CCP5 for the award of £ 1500 (from the
workshop funding programme) to support the meeting. This funding has been used to
pay for the accommodation and travel expenses of the invited speakers, to subsidise
(partially) the registration and accommodation fees of conference delegates (not
including postgraduate students - who were subsidised by a grant from the Angela
and Tony Fish bequest of the RSC), to pay for the reception at the poster session and
to cover the expenses of producing the conference booklet.
The funding from CCP5 was acknowledged on the
conference website
and in the conference booklet
provided to all delegates.
