Computational chemists meet in Jyväskylä

Computational Chemistry Days 2024 (CCD24) will present research of the computational chemistry in Finland. Computational Chemistry Days are held once a year and this year around 100 experts and students will meet in Jyväskylä on 27-28 May 2024. The event is particularly important for young researchers where they can present their research results and network.

Computational chemistry research uses models and simulations to understand complex chemical systems and phenomena, often utilizing high-performance computing. The themes for CCD24 are Catalysis and materials, Machine learning, and Biomolecules and soft matter, which are also closely related to the research undertaken at JYU.

There are a total of five confirmed invited speakers: Hanna Vehkamäki (University of Helsinki), Maria Sammalkorpi (Aalto University), Miguel Caro (Aalto University), Berk Hess (KTH Royal Institute of Technology) and Georg Kastlunger (Technical University of Denmark). There will be 16 oral presentations from young researchers and 29 scientific posters. A total of 93 participants have registered for the event, most of them from Finland.

This year will be the 7th installment of the event, and the second time it is held in Jyväskylä. The event provides an opportunity for students and young researchers in the field to network and present their work.
