Berni J. Alder CECAM Prize 2022 - Award Ceremony

The Berni J. Alder CECAM prize is the most prestigious international prize in the broad domain of simulation and modelling.
It is awarded every three years to one or more individuals who have made exceptional contributions to the field.
Nominations are made by the community and a committee of peers selects the awardee.
 
The Berni J. Alder CECAM prize 2022 was awarded to Prof. Dr. Kurt Kremer, Max Plank Institute for Polymer Research, for outstanding contributions to microscopic simulation of polymers, and, more broadly, to soft matter.

The award ceremony will be held on November 9 at CECAM Headquarters in EPFL (Batochime building, room BCH2103) as the opening of a mini symposium to reflect on state-of-the art, challenges and opportunities in the broad area of soft matter simulations.
Join us, in person or on-line, for this happy occasion!
