What is CECAM?

CECAM (Centre Européen de Calcul Atomique et Moléculaire) is a European network to promote fundamental research on advanced computational methods and their application to important problems in frontier areas of science and technology.

The missions of CECAM include the organization of scientific workshops in emerging areas, advanced schools to train at the graduate and postdoctoral level, workshops on algorithmic and software development, the development of collaborative research projects for Europe and beyond, and the sponsorship of an international visitors program.

CECAM is composed of 17 nodes across Europe and in Israel to work alongside the headquarters in Lausanne.

CECAM-FR-RA

The CECAM node of the French Rhône-Alpes region is hosted at the Centre Blaise Pascal (CBP) in Lyon, at the Centre de Physique Théorique Grenoble-Alpes (CPTGA) in Grenoble, as well as at the École de Physique des Houches.

The node is sponsored by Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS), the Commissariat à l’énergie atomique et aux énergies alternatives (CEA), the Université Grenoble Alpes (UGA), Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1 (UCBL) and École normale supérieure de Lyon (ENS Lyon).

The node director is David Rodney from UCBL, the deputy director is Kirsten Martens (CNRS-UGA).
