Software focus area survey and webinar – Implications of the use of Generative AI in Software Development, Application and Licensing – on-line, Wednesday, November 19, 2025 | 15:00-17:00 CET

Dear colleagues,

The European Materials Modelling Council (emmc.eu) is holding a webinar, themed – Implications of the use of Generative AI in Software Development, Application and Licensing on Wednesday, November 19, 2025 | 15:00-17:00 CET.   We have launched a questionnaire – https://forms.gle/gbEiGSsnN9mZXk2L9 – to survey the practices, issues and implications of using Generative AI in the research software engineering area.  Have your say!

Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming materials design and discovery by driving innovations in hardware architectures, software solutions for materials modelling and digital infrastructures collating data from computational and experimental characterisation and processing them using data science to enable learning and generate new knowledge.  We seek to explore how the design, optimisation, and performance of computational tools are affected by this transformation on the path of enabling us to tackle more complex challenges with greater efficiency and accuracy.

The event registration is free at https://emmc.eu/fa-software-event-2025-11/  but a member login is required (free EMMC membership can be obtained at https://emmc.eu/become-a-member/).

Ilian Todorov and Natalia Bedoya-Martinez
