Purpose and objective of the workshop
The rapid evolution of current technologies requires continuous development of new and advanced materials in a wide range of industrial sectors. In this view, modelling techniques can serve as valuable and powerful means to accelerate research and development of new and tailored materials. Thus, the European Commission, through the European Materials Modelling Council, is strongly committed to promote the use of materials modelling by the European industry. With this goal, understanding the current situation and eventual obstacles which may prevent the widespread use of materials modelling at the industrial level is of critical importance. In particular, the current gaps in the available models with respect to the industrial requirements and/or the limits of the available techniques must be identified and properly addressed. This critical assessment requires close cooperation and synergy between the industrial researchers and the academic model developers.
The objective of the meeting is to provide a discussion platform for industrial researchers and academic model developers. Materials modelling experts from the European industry will present and share their view on current model gaps and limits with the EMMC academic model developers. These inputs will promote the discussion between industrial and academic delegates, which is expected to provide a good overview and a critical review of the current industrial needs vs available modelling technologies. In this meeting, particular emphasis will be given to discrete models (electronic and particle-based models) and to the current needs and available strategies for coupling and linking of models.
Participants
The Workshop is an ‘invitation-only’ event for about 20-25 academic and industrial materials modelling experts discussing about
Discrete Materials Models
electronic, atomistic & mesoscopic
and
Industrial Applications Sectors
Molecular soft matter & polymers, Energy conversion & storage, Specialty materials

Travel
There are possible direct flights to the Turin airport (Caselle). From the Caselle airport (A. Pertini) to the City Center there is a bus which takes around 45 min to downtown (stops at Porta Susa Station and Porta Nuova Station). Information can be found here.
Taxi service is available at the airport: the duration is about 30-40 min and the price around 30-35 € (indicatively and depending on the traffic).
If no direct flight to Turin is available, the Milan airport can be chosen. From the Milan Malpensa airport to Turin city center buses are available. The duration of the trip is about two hours. Information can be found on the company website.
Accommodation
The following accommodations are suggested:
Corso Vittorio Emanuele II, 104, 10121 Torino TO
Walking distance from the meeting venue (10 min)
Via Sacchi, 14/B, 10128 Torino TO
This Hotel is very close to the Porta Nuova central rail station. In order to reach the meeting location, the easiest way is by Metro from the “Porta Nuova” station to the “Vinzaglio” station – direction “Fermi”, then 15 min walking.
Corso Inghilterra, 33, 10138 Torino TO
This Hotel is very close to the Porta Susa central rail station. In order to reach the meeting location, the easiest way is by Metro from the “Porta Susa” station to the “Vinzaglio” station – direction “Lingotto”, then 15 min walking.
In general, Politecnico can be reached by public transport in 20 min from the city center (e.g. Piazza Castello or Piazza Vittorio Veneto).
You may want to consider other accommodations.
