About MCC
The Materials Chemistry Consortium exploits high end computing in a broad programme of work modelling and predicting the structures, properties and reactivities of materials. The consortium is a broadly based but coherent grouping comprising 36 university groups, with the emphasis on modelling at the atomic and molecular level but with growing links to models at larger length and time scales. Founded in 1994, the current scientific programme is built around seven related themes: catalysis, energy storage and generation, surface and interfacial phenomena, nano- and defect structures, soft matter, biomaterials, environmental materials. The Consortium has an active programme of code support, development and optimisation, tapping into the ecosystem of UK based software development initiatives including CoSeC.
