3rd CEMDI Symposium

Learn about the hosts!

CEMDI

‘Computational Energy Materials Design Infrastructure (CEMDI)‘ platform at INRS serves as a collaborative hub for computational researchers, comprising 11 Principal Investigators, two contributing PIs, as well as several postdoctoral researchers and graduate students.

I²CNER

International Institute of Carbon Neutral Energy Research (I²CNER) at Kyushu University—one of the top ten universities in Japan—focuses on science that underlies energy technologies that hold promise for dramatic reductions in carbon emissions in the next 20 to 40 years. To achieve its goal, I²CNER encourages collaborative efforts to leverage resources and intellectual talent from Japan and the rest of the world.

Our Objectives

Cultivate Industry-Academic Synergy: Bridge the gap between theoretical research and practical application by nurturing partnerships between industry and academia, thus translating cutting-edge theory into tangible solutions.
Facilitate Collaborative Access: Foster collaborations with both national and international teams, harnessing the unique computational infrastructure and expertise available in Quebec, all united in the pursuit of climate change mitigation.

Empower Emerging Researchers: Inspire and equip young researchers with the latest skills in advanced computational materials science. Provide them with exposure to the global forefront of clean energy innovation and a comprehensive understanding of interdisciplinary domains, including materials science, mathematics, condensed matter physics, molecular science, computational chemistry, and artificial intelligence.
Advance Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) in Materials Science and Engineering: Support and encourage underrepresented groups in the natural sciences and engineering (NSE), fostering a diverse and inclusive environment that enhances innovation through varied perspectives and collaborative efforts.
