Computational Electronic Structure of Condensed Matter

CCP9 is the Collaborative Computational Project for the Study of the Electronic Structure of Condensed Matter.

CCP9 provides a network which connects UK research groups in electronic structure, facilitates UK participation in the larger European Psi-k Network and supports a number of cutting edge computational codes. The chairman of CCP9 is Prof. Stewart Clark, University of Durham.

CCP9 Conference and Community Meeting 2026

The 2026 Conference and Community Meeting will take place in Liverpool at the Delta Hotels Marriott, Liverpool, UK, 21-24 April 2026.  The conference will cover all aspects of electronic structure calculations in the UK, including fundamental theory, method development and applications. Important topics include: catalysis and electrochemistry, strong correlation and magnetism, high-performance computing issues, GPU use, AI in electronic structure. The conference will include a range of longer and shorter talks, a poster session and time dedicated to community discussion and networking.
