Join us for the Nyro-SCM User Group Meeting 2026 on 12th & 13th February 2026 in India, your premier event for Amsterdam Modelling Suite (AMS) users. This online gathering unites computational chemists, materials scientists, and industry experts to explore cutting-edge molecular and materials modelling. Discover AMS 2026 updates, trending topics in materials science, polymers, batteries, and solid-state simulations, plus hands-on workflows for real-world applications.

 

Agenda Highlights (Schedule will be updated)

• Welcome & Keynote: Overview of computational chemistry trends and multiscale simulations tackling modern challenges.
• AMS 2026 Developments: New features in ADF, BAND, DFTB, ReaxFF, machine-learning potentials; workflow automation, scripting, and visualisation enhancements.
• Thematic Sessions: Electronic structure, spectroscopy, materials, catalysis, energy including relativistic DFT, excited-state methods, surface chemistry, electrochemistry, and ion diffusion.
• Hands-On Demo: End-to-end AMS workflow via GUI model building, job setup, analysis, with best practices and automation tips.
• User Sharing & Discussions: Case studies, panels, Q&A on challenges, best practices, and future roadmaps; closing with training previews.
