2025 Surface Chemistry Workshop
Using Schrödinger's Materials Science Suite for atomic-scale simulations of solid surfaces for thin film deposition, catalysis, and batteries
Schrödinger invites you to a one-day in-person workshop in Mannheim, Germany to gain hands-on experience with Schrödinger software for modelling surfaces for applications such as atomic layer deposition, catalysis, battery design, and polymer property prediction.
Participants will get practical experience and in-person guidance in using our Materials Science Suite and the tools involved in building structures, from single molecules to complex disordered systems for use in quantum mechanics and molecular dynamics simulations. Leveraging automated property prediction workflows as well as analysis tools will play an important role.
Examples of how molecular-scale simulations can inform surface level reactions and interactions will be included throughout the day.
When:
Thursday 18th September 2025
10:00 am CET
Where:
Schrödinger GmbH
Glücksteinallee 25
68163 Mannheim
Germany
(5 minutes walk from Mannheim Hauptbahnhof)
