On Tuesday 11 October 2022, at the CNR headquarters, (Piazzale Aldo Moro 7, Rome), will take place the kick off meeting of the CNR-led Spoke 7 of the new National Research Center in High Performance Computing, Big Data and Quantum Computing, involving 51 founding members. The National Center will aggregate the Italian scientific communities of excellence in 10 different areas (Spokes). The Center is made up of a central Hub in charge of coordinating and managing research programs, and of ten Spokes that will implement these programs.

 

The Spoke 7 (Materials and Molecular Sciences) started on Septemebr 1 and is  managed by Cnr and SISSA. It sees the participation of different Cnr Institues (Cnr Iom and Cnr Nano), of 10 affiliated subjects (University of Milan Bicocca, University of Trieste, University of Turin, University of Pisa, University of Florence, University of Trento, University of Calabria, Polytechnic of Turin, SISSA and ENEA) and of the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia. During the kick off meeting, an overview of the functioning of the National Center and the activities foreseen by the Spoke will be given, with interventions by the scientific managers and representatives of the affiliated institutions. It is aimed at all the researchers involved in the center, almost 150, and is open to the entire scientific community operating in the field of advanced simulation of new materials and molecular systems.

 

The Istituto Nanoscienze for its high and recognized skills in the field, participates in the Spoke "Materials & Molecular Sciences" in particular on the developement and optimization of electronic structure flagship codes in exascale hybrid machines and on forefront applications in the domani of material sciences.
