7-12 July, 2024Aristotle University, Thessaloniki, Greece
7-12 July, 2024Aristotle University, Thessaloniki, Greece
The Conference on Computational Physics CCP2024 is the annual Conference in a series of meetings, that are held each year in a different city, treating all aspects of Physics that involve computer calculations, in an effort to explain the behavior of different systems in Physics. The meeting is sponsored by The International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP), under the direction of the C20 Committee. The 2024 meeting will bring together scientists from all traditional areas in Physics, but will also extend to the new hot topics, such as Quantum Machine Learning, Neuromorphic Computing, use of AI in large-scale Physics experiments, big data and non-conventional data mining methods with a large variety of applications extending to complex systems, such as financial, and social networks, etc. The meeting is expected to provide a very fruitful environment to stimulate collaboration between scientists in different disciplines. A European Commission official from Brussels is invited to give the latest development in funding opportunities for collaborative projects.
