The MARVEL Junior Seminars aim to intensify interactions between the MARVEL Junior scientists belonging to different research groups – this is held in hybrid mode, in order to maintain in-person contacts and allow off-campus attendees to follow the seminars remotely! We are pleased to propose the 57th MARVEL Junior Seminar: Federica Troni (CECAM, EPFL) and Beliz Sertcan (University of Zurich) will present their research. 

The 36th NCCR MARVEL Distinguished Lecture will be given by Prof. Elisa Molinari, University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, and Cnr-Nano, Modena, Italy. She will be presenting a lecture entitled: "The excitons that you might not expect." 

We would like to invite you to join us for the CECAM online celebration of the UN International Day of Women and Girls in Science on February 14. Shobhana Narasimhan (JNCASR, Jakkur, Bangalore) and Virginie de Mestral (ETH Zurich) will share with us their experiences and perspective on women’s access and participation in our domain. We are also looking forward to contributions and questions from the audience — boys and girls alike! 

The next run of the Fix the Leaky Pipeline program (FLP), a career building program for women in science, will be launched by an online/hybrid kickoff event on Tuesday, February 6, 2024, 12:15 – 14:00.

The tenth MARVEL Review and Retreat will take place on January 17-19, 2024. The event will gather all MARVEL members, group leaders as well as postdocs and students. Presentations will show to all the community where the projects stand and what are the next steps. 

Tune in online on January 15, 2024, at 2pm CET and get to know Lhumos, the novel e-learning platform for the material sciences community! Lhumos (Learning HUb for MOdeling and Simulation) is a novel educational platform developed to facilitate the upskilling of students, scientists, and industrial users in HPC applications in the material sciences domain.

The MARVEL Junior Seminar series is held in hybrid mode, in order to maintain in-person contacts and allow off-campus attendees to follow the seminars remotely! The MARVEL Junior Seminars aim to intensify interactions between the MARVEL Junior scientists belonging to different research groups.  We are pleased to propose the 56th MARVEL Junior Seminar: Philip Loche (Lab. of computational science and modelling - COSMO, EPFL) and Yuri Cho (Computational molecular design lab. - LCMD, EPFL) will present their research. The seminar will be chaired by Alessandro Carbone (Lab. of theory and simulation of materials - THEOS, EPFL).

The MARVEL Junior Seminar series is held in hybrid mode, in order to maintain in-person contacts and allow off-campus attendees to follow the seminars remotely!

The MARVEL Junior Seminar series is held in hybrid mode, in order to maintain in-person contacts and allow off-campus attendees to follow the seminars remotely! The MARVEL Junior Seminars aim to intensify interactions between the MARVEL Junior scientists belonging to different research groups.  We are pleased to propose the 54th MARVEL Junior Seminar: Yann Müller (Laboratory of Materials Design and Simulation - MADES, EPFL) and Edward Linscott (Laboratory of Theory and Simulation of Materials - THEOS, EPFL) will present their research. The seminar will be chaired by Miriam Pougin (Laboratory of Molecular Simulation - LSMO, EPFL).

This one-hour session will be an opportunity for all  members to meet and interact with Nicola Nosengo, who since May 2023 is Communication Officer for NCCR MARVEL.

Come and discover Materials Cloud - a pioneering open platform from NCCR MARVEL that changes the way researchers access, share, and collaborate on computational materials science.

Eberhard Gross (Hebrew University of Jerusalem) and Angel Rubio (Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter) will give a joint lecture on "Time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT)", in what will be the ninth event in the series "Classics in molecular and materials modelling" hosted by CECAM and MARVEL.
