Symposium "Can Ice Be Described from First Principles?”
This symposium is hosted by the Young CAS-project "Can Ice Be Described from First Principles?" . Organisers are Young CAS PI Sigbjørn Løland Bore (University of Oslo, NO) and Pablo Piaggi (nanoGUNE and Ikerbasque, ES)
The event will take place on 27-28 March 2025 at the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters. The aim of the symposium is to gather scientists to discuss the most exciting advances and challenges in modeling ice and water from first principles to provide a wide range of perspectives.
Confirmed invited speakers include Georg Kresse (University of Vienna, AT), Marivi Fernandez-Serra (Stony Brook University, US), Nicolás Giovambattista (City University of New York, US), Thomas Loerting (University of Innsbruck, AT), Eva G. Noya (Spanish National Research Council, ES), Maurice de Koning (State University of Campinas, BR), Guglielmo Mazzola (University of Zurich, CH), Hsin-Yu Ko (University of North Texas, US), Giada Franceschi (Vienna University of Technology, AT), Sarai Dery (Norwegian University of Science and Technology, NO), Margaret Berrens (Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, US), Henrik Sveinsson (University of Oslo, NO), Debdas Dhabal (Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati, IN), Nore Stolte (Ruhr University Bochum, DE), and others.
There will also be panel discussions with questions posed by the audience, and a poster session during the first day.
Deadline: Registration before 1 March 2025.
