The CECAM-Lorentz program plans to host a leading-edge workshop in computational simulation and modeling and its application in molecular simulations and related areas.
Although all topics are welcome, in this year’s call, we aim to specifically encourage proposals addressing the question of sustainable computing.
How can scientific software be made more energy efficient? Possible topics include, but are not limited to, sustainable codes for atomistic and molecular simulations, data science, scientific image analysis, or sustainable ML/AI.
What we seek
• a team of 3-5 scientific organizers, broad and diverse (e.g. in geographical affiliation, gender, scientific area, etc.)
• an innovative scientific program that takes us beyond our current boundaries
• an open and interactive format, with few lectures
What we offer
• a 5-day workshop for up to 25 people between 1 January and 30 April 2026
• funding for accommodation, catering, travel and other organizational costs
• a professional support organization
Procedure
• submit applications via https://www.cecam.org/submit-lorentz-proposal
• 1-page expression of interest by 13 November 2024
• announcement of shortlist selection before 1 December 2024
• if shortlisted, a full application by 10 January 2025
• final decision by the end of February 2025
