Dear computational scientist/professional, On Tuesday 18 October the network meeting for the Dutch Computational Sciences will take place in Utrecht! Group leaders (tenure track+) and other experienced computational scientists/professionals in industry or academia across all disciplines, are warmly invited. During the network meeting on 18 October we will discuss aspects of the National Agenda for Computational Sciences and how to grow as a community. The full programme will be soon available on www.dutchcomputational.science. The upcoming National Agenda for Computational Sciences will be presented on October 5 to the Topsectors and Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy. Meeting details Date: Tuesday 18 October Location: Utrecht - In de driehoek congres- en vergadercentrum Time: 12:00- 17:00 Fee: free of charge Target audience: Group leaders (tenure track+) and other experienced computational scientists/professionals in industry and/or academia Registration: via www.dutchcomputational.science We would very much appreciate it if you can share this message with anyone in your network that might be interested to participate! Kind regards, Johan Mentink (RU) - chair organizing committee Ewa Szymanska (FrieslandCampina) - member organizing committee Sagar Dolas (SURF) - member organizing committee Peter Bobbert (CCER) - co-chair organizing committee Kees Vuik (TUD) - chair coreteam national agenda for computational sciences

Today CCER PhD researcher Chidozie Onwudinanti succesfully defended his thesis On hydrogen penetration into ruthenium – The role of tin in blistering of EUV mirrors . Congratulations to the new doctor!

The video registration of ACOS 2020 is online now. Be sure not to miss it!

Peter Bobbert from the group M2N and the CCER is co-author of the publication A deep-learning approach to realizing functionality in nanoelectronic devices in Nature Nanotechnology, Oct. 2020.

Prof. Peter Bobbert (TU/e, CCER) is the co-author of the Nature paper Classification with a disordered dopant atom network in silicon of Jan. 15, 2020.

It is our pleasure to invite you to the Applied Computational Science (ACOS) symposium that will take place on 30 October 2019 at the Dutch Institute for Fundamental Energy Research (DIFFER), located at the campus of the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e).

Just like toothpaste: Fluoride radically improves the stability of perovskite solar cells. A protective layer of fluoride can increase the stability of perovskite solar cells significantly, writes an international research collaboration in the leading journal Nature Energy .

CCER's Assistant Professor Shuxia Tao , from TU/e's Department of Applied Physics, has been awarded the prestigious personal NWO START-UP grant.

As CCER community we have completed our first full calendar year. The year 2018 was busy with many of you active in calls for proposals.

CCER's journal article ‘ Accurate and efficient band gap predictions of metal halide perovskites using the DFT-1/2 method: GW accuracy with DFT expense ’ by Shuxia Tao, Xi Cao and Peter Bobbert has been selected as one of the top 100 read materials science papers for Scientific Reports in 2017.

Dr. ir. Jan van Dijk (TU/e, CCER) has received a grant with a value of 212.500 Euro for his proposal in a recent project call by the Netherlands eScience Center, entitled: “Passing XSAMS”.

We are happy to announce that per March 1, 2018, CCER director Vianney Koelman was appointed at TU/e (department of Applied Physics) as part-time professor in Computational Energy Research. Congratulations Vianney!

With a research grant from the NWO program on Materials for Sustainability, computational scientist Süleyman Er and his research team will develop new battery materials for stationary electrical energy storage.
