Over the past 40 years, the MPI for Polymer Research has covered a wide range of topics including synthesis. Many of these were influenced by Klaus Müllen and his cooperation partners, inside and outside MPIP,in academia and in industry. He has now compiled his networked research in a book entitled "Die Chemie muss stimmen" (The chemistry get to be right) from the book series "Lives in chemistry - Lebenswerke in der Chemie". This prompted the idea of bringing together the many partners in a conference. Its focus is on demonstrating theimportance of collaboration in basic research, especially at a time when so much in our world is drifting apart. [mehr]

This is the final meeting in a series whose purpose has been and is to highlight key challenges and current developments within the research field of the collaborative research center DFG SFB TRR 146 : Multiscale simulation methods for soft-matter systems. The aim of the workshop is to bring together experts from the fields of physics, chemistry, and applied mathematics to discuss the current state of the field, recent exciting advances and future prospects. Topics include mathematical foundations, machine learning approaches and other new developments, and challenges for applications. At the same time, the meeting is intended to celebrate Kurt Kremer's 70th birthday. Registration deadline: April 17, 2026 [mehr]

The 2025 CECAM workshop: “The atomic simulation environment ecosystem: Present and perspectives” addressed the increasing challenge of maintaining ASE due to its rapid growth in recent years. The main proposals from the workshop were a new plugin system, a decoupling of the structure representation (the Atoms object) from the calculation itself (the Calculator object), which are currently strongly intertwined and frequently cause bugs, and a restructuring of the data obtained from calculators. These proposed changes, while conceptually small, will change the fundamental aspects of how every single user and developer operates and interfaces with ASE. The smoothness of the transition from ASEv3 to ASEv4, its take-up and success will strongly depend on stress-testing the modifications to the core ASE functionality in a wide range of community-led efforts, as well as the engagement of the developers of the derived packages with the plugin infrastructure.
