Welcome to CECAM-US-WEST.

CECAM (Centre Européen de Calcul Atomique et Moléculaire) is an organization of institutions with a mission of promoting fundamental research on advanced computational methods and their application to important problems in frontier areas of science and technology.

In 2025, CECAM-US-WEST was established at the University of California, Berkeley, in partnership with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.

The program of node activities reflect the broad research interests and expertise of the partner institutions, including soft and hard materials modeling and simulation, enhanced sampling methodologies, artificial intelligence-enabled materials engineering, high-performance computing, and scientific software development.
