(55417) Kumpula Computational Chemistry and Physics (KCCP)

Programme for Spring Term 2012

Last update: 15th May 2012

A large number of research groups are active in the fields of computational physics and chemistry at the Kumpula campus of the University of Helsinki alone. The "Kumpula Computational Chemistry and Physics" seminar series attempts to increase the awareness of the people, tools and topics involved in this work, as well as to establish new and enhance existing collaborations. It is hoped that the series will gain enough momentum to be established as a regular means of communication at the Kumpula campus and beyond.
Everyone (from students to senior researchers to professors) doing computational science in the greater Helsinki region is cordially welcome to propose a talk on any of the vacant dates. Besides the scientific topic, the talks should preferably also contain a brief presentation of the overall activity of the speaker's group. A brief abstract of the talk is also appreciated.

Language:	English
Credits:	Giving one talk and participation in a sufficient number of other seminars, will give 2.5 ECTS credit units to students (course code 55417).
