CAMD 2015

The first conference on Computational Approaches to Materials Design, CAMD 2015, will be held at the University of Aveiro on 25/26 June 2015. The main idea is to gather both experienced and less experienced researchers in the field, and to create an informal atmosphere for stimulating discussion and sharing of ideas. The conference will consist only of oral contributions on computational approaches ranging from classical to ab initio. The participation is free of charge but registration is required.
