Welcome to CECAM-US-CENTRAL, the first CECAM node in the United States. 

CECAM (Centre Européen de Calcul Atomique et Moléculaire) is an organization of institutions with a mission of promoting fundamental research on advanced computational methods and their application to important problems in frontier areas of science and technology.

CECAM-US-CENTRAL was established at the University of Chicago on November 16, 2023 as the first CECAM node in the United States, in partnership with Northwestern University, University of Wisconsin-Madison, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, University of Notre Dame, Purdue University, and Argonne National Laboratory

The program of node activities reflect the broad research interests and expertise of the partner institutions, including soft and hard materials modeling and simulation, enhanced sampling methodologies, artificial intelligence-enabled materials engineering, high-performance computing, and scientific software development.
