To mark the Thomas Young Centre turning 20, we will be hosting a 2-day symposium,  celebrating 20 years of cutting-edge research in the theory and simulation of materials and molecules at University College London, Imperial College London, King’s College London, Queen Mary University of London and their international collaborators.

This scientific symposium will cover cutting-edge research in 5 sessions dedicated to Electronic Structure Theory, Machine Learning, Functional Materials, Biomaterials and Perspectives on Materials Modelling. A separate session will be devoted to discussions about the future of theory and simulation of materials and molecules with the aim of developing a future Roadmap of Materials Modelling that identifies and articulates the most important challenges in this field over the next 10 years, broad strategies for how they will be overcome, and the likely impact of success in overcoming them for science and industry. 

Registration deadline: Sunday 1 November 2026
