CECAM-FI invites applications for financial support for in-person workshops. Financial support will provided to workshops linked to the research activities related to the Finnish computational materials ecosystem. Organizers are encouraged to seek complementary financial support besides CECAM-FI. The typical financial support provided by CECAM-FI will be 3000€-5000€ for workshops of 20-40 participants.

The following aspects will be highly valued but not mandatory:
– Organizers from different organizations
– Complementary expertise of the organizers
– Synergy between the research activities
– International invited speakers and ideally one international organizer

Application requirements:
– At least one group from a CECAM-FI consortium partner
