Past events

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 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.

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 53rd MARVEL Junior Seminar: Sanggyu Chong (Laboratory of Computational Science and Modeling - COSMO, EPFL) and Martin Uhrin (Laboratory of Theory and Simulation of Materials - THEOS, EPFL) will present their research. The seminar will be chaired by Virginie de Mestral (Integrated Systems Lab., ETHZ).

The fifth MARVEL Junior Retreat will take place from September 12 to 15, 2023. It will give PhD students and Postdocs involved in MARVEL groups the opportunity to interact, share their experiences, learn about each other’s research, start new collaborations and discuss various aspects that are relevant for young researchers.

A new edition of the "Advanced Quantum ESPRESSO school: Hubbard and Koopmans functionals from linear response" will take place (fully in presence) in Pavia - Italy, from August 28th to September 1st. This is the second school on the topic after a very successful and exciting first edition held (virtually) in 2022 and it benefits from the support of the NCCR MARVEL.

The MARVEL Junior Seminar series is continuing 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 52nd MARVEL Junior Seminar: Giovanni Piccioli (Statistical Physics and Computational Lab, EPFL) and Anooja Jayaraj (nanotech@surfaces lab, Empa) will present their research. The seminar will be chaired by Alessandro Carbone (THEOS, EPFL).
