Join the CCC‑ParaSolS Network Event 2, a hybrid training and networking event happening 13-15 October 2025 at The Cosener’s House in Abingdon, Oxfordshire, with online access available via Teams. Open to UK‑based CCC‑ParaSolS members, interested participants can register by 5 September, though in-person spots are limited and not guaranteed. Successful applicants will be notified by mid‑September and may be eligible for reimbursement of travel, accommodation, and subsistence costs. The event features expert‑led sessions on code benchmarking, HPC training, LAMMPS performance tuning on ARCHER2, and strategic future‑vision workshops for the CCC‑ParaSolS community.

CCC-ParaSolS is a two-year project (January 2025 to December 2026), funded by the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) to create a Collaborative Computational Community in particulate solids simulations.

Particulate solids (granular materials) encompass natural soil deposits, pharmaceutical powders, food ingredients (e.g., powdered milk, flour), aggregates and cement used in construction, etc. Particulate solids are often inputs to manufacturing processes or are produced as intermediate/final products and as such, they have significant economic and societal importance.

For example, they are fundamental to the UK chemical & pharmaceutical industry which annually generates over £60bn of exports and directly employs more than 130,000 people across over 4,000 businesses.
