This annual one-day meeting in the heart of York brings together materials modelling researchers to discuss the latest developments in theory, algorithms and applications. This meeting will consist of invited and contributed talks, and a poster session. This, the 6th meeting in this series, will have three sessions, with invited speakers who will introduce the three main topic areas chosen for this meeting:
Materials for renewable energy: Invited speaker, Keith McKenna (University of York)
Materials for energy generation: Invited speaker, Furio Cora (University College, London)
Materials for a sustainable future: Invited speaker, Jarvist Frost (Imperial College, London)
