About the Materials Computation Center
The Materials Computation Center (MCC) supports educational experiences in materials science through the Travel Award Program, in
conjunction with European organizations Psi-k and CECAM.
The MCC also supports annual summer schools on computational materials science. The Summer Schools provide graduate-level training modules on various topics in computational materials science. These modules and other codes are distributed through our Software Archive.
The MCC also supports two yearly conferences: Understanding Complex Systems and Recent Developments in Electronic Structure. In the past, the Center has hosted meetings on behalf of the National Science Foundation.
Headquartered and supported by facilities and services by the Frederick Seitz Materials Research Laboratory (MRL), the MCC is sponsored by National Science Foundation DMR Award 03-25939.
