SUMMARY:5th COSY Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Once upon the time there was … an astrochemistry story\nCristina Puzzarini. Dept. Chemistry “Giacomo Ciamician” University of Bologna\, Bologna\, 40129\, Italy. \nThe discovery of an increasing number of complex organic molecules in the interstellar medium (ISM) raises fundamental questions about how chemical reactivity can proceed efficiently under extreme astrophysical conditions characterized by very low temperatures\, low densities\, and pervasive ionizing radiation [1]. Under such conditions\, conventional chemical intuition fails\, and a detailed molecular-level understanding becomes essential. In this context\, computational chemistry plays a central role in identifying viable reaction pathways and providing quantitative kinetic data for astrochemical modeling. \nThis seminar tackles the challenge of the interstellar chemistry and addresses the strategy to unveil it. The starting point is the quantum-chemical exploration of reactive potential energy surfaces (PESs) relevant to interstellar chemistry [1]. High-level electronic structure methods\, ranging from density functional theory to coupled-cluster-based composite schemes\, enable accurate characterization of pre-reactive complexes\, submerged transition states\, and exothermic bimolecular products that satisfy the stringent constraints imposed by the ISM [1-5]. Particular emphasis is placed on automated and semi-automated PES exploration workflows\, which systematically identify all energetically accessible reaction channels while enforcing interstellar-specific conditions such as barrierless entrance pathways and bimolecular stabilization [6]. \nThe resulting energetic data are coupled with kinetic simulations to compute temperature-dependent rate coefficients and branching ratios in the temperature range of interest to astrochemistry. Case studies demonstrate that even small energetic differences can lead to variations in reaction rates of several orders of magnitude at cryogenic temperatures\, underscoring the need for highly accurate computations [1-5]. These theoretical results provide critical input for astrochemical reaction networks\, significantly improving their predictive capability. \nIn addition\, we discuss current computational strategies for modeling chemistry on interstellar grain analogues\, including surface reactions and the formation of complex organic and prebiotic molecules in icy environments. While surface chemistry is increasingly well described [7]\, modeling bulk-ice reactivity remains a major theoretical challenge [1]. Overall\, the integration of advanced quantum chemistry\, automated reaction discovery\, and kinetic modeling is transforming astrochemistry into a predictive\, quantitatively grounded discipline. \nReferences  \n\nPuzzarini\, S.

SUMMARY:Modeling potential energy functions with Machine Learning and classical techniques. Training School.
DESCRIPTION:Overview \nThe training school will be held at the University of Coimbra\, Portugal\, during 2 full days in January 2026. We aim at gathering together PhD candidates and young researchers with highly qualified trainers\, mostly from the area of machine learning (ML) as applied to computational chemistry problems. The central topic of the school is the parameterization of force fields to be used in molecular simulations by employing either classical fitting approaches or recently proposed ML techniques. Lectures covering introductory ML concepts and applications to potential energy modeling will be delivered by experts. Although the subject will be considered in a broad context\, particular emphasis will be given to applications regarding force fields parameterization with interest in biological systems and materials. Additionally\, practical and tutorial classes that complement the theoretical lectures will be delivered by experts with the help of younger researchers with expertise in the area. The practical activities will allow trainees to learn how to use public domain software for the parameterization of force fields \n  \nDate: 22-23 January 2026. \n  \nLocal Organizing Committee: \nJorge Marques \nJoana Santos \nPaulo Abreu \nTânia Cova \n  \nScientific Committee: \nMaría Pilar de Lara-Castells (CSIC – Instituto de Fisica Fundamental\, Madrid\, Spain) \nFrancesca Mocci (University of Cagliari\, Italy) \nBerta Fernández Rodríguez (University of Santiago de Compostela\, Spain) \nAlberto Canelas Pais (University of Coimbra\, Portugal) \n  \n  \nVenue \nDepartment of Chemistry\, University of Coimbra (Portugal).  \nLectures: Seminar Room (2nd floor).

SUMMARY:WG3 Virtual Symposium - Young Scientists’ Forum 2025 (YSF2025)
DESCRIPTION:Experimental and Computational Approaches for Studying Multicomponent Confined Systems\n\nOrganizers: Alessandro Fortunelli\, Lyudmila Moskaleva\, Petra Čechová\, and Markéta Paloncyova)\n\nDate: 17 December 2025 09:00-17:00\n\nThis is the 2nd Edition of the WG3 Virtual Symposium – Young Scientists’ Forum – is designed to serve as a platform for Young Researchers and Investigators (YRIs) within the Working Group 3 and the entire Action to present and discuss their research on confined molecular systems. The YSF2025 aims at stimulating discussions on the latest advancements in nanocluster research\, encouraging active participation and knowledge exchange among attendees. By stimulating active participation and knowledge exchange\, the symposium aims to strengthen professional relationships and promote future collaborative projects both within and outside WG3. Building on the success of the previous virtual meetings of WG3: S-1 and S-2 held in 2022 and 2023\, and the 1st Edition of the Young Scientists’ Forum in 2024\, the event will follow a Faraday-Discussion format\, which will allow attendees to discuss their research in a collaborative environment. The Faraday Discussion format foresees that some materials of the presentations are available ahead of the discussion (as DOIs\, slides\, or videos)\, then allowing for their very short presentation by the presenters and reserving a much longer time for the ensuing discussions and questions from the other participants (grounded on the previously available materials). In YSF these two types of contributions are expected: (i) Talks: 5-minute presentations followed by 15 minutes discussion\, (ii) Brief Presentations: Flash presentations of 2 minutes followed by 8 minutes discussion. Furthermore\, the symposium will be co-organized and co-chaired by YRIs\, ensuring a collaborative approach to highlight and promote the work of early-stage scientists (doctoral candidates\, postdocs\, Young Researchers\, within the first 10 years of their research activity\, since graduation).\n\nYSF2025-Program-with-Titles-of-Presentations.pdf\nYSF2025-Program with Titles of Presentations\n\nRequest of oral presentations are now closed\, but interested researchers can still attend by registering filling up the google form at:\nhttps://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScsvPtbHZEj7q0wBVCEIhGLifPs4sJBAP0xGlXi9wPAab_u4A/viewform\n\n– instructions on the zoom link to attend\, as well as the DOIs of the oral presentations\, will be sent to registered participants before the event.

SUMMARY:CATCOSY 2024. Meeting Facing Challenges. Subnanometric Metal and Metal-Oxide  Catalysts and Photocatalysts
DESCRIPTION:The meeting will address challenges related to the characterization and understanding of subnanometric transition metal and metal-oxide catalysts and photo-catalysts. It will leverage the strategic position of the “COSY” network in the synthesis of atomically precise metal clusters in various environments (gas-phase\, solution\, within helium nanodroplets\, and in biologically relevant media)\, their characterization via. e.g.\, transmission electron microscopy and state-of-the-art computational methods (ab initio\, DFT and molecular dynamics). Specific topics include the design of photo-catalysts for water purification or the sunlight-induced decomposition of greenhouse gases (e.g.\, CO2) using transition metal and metal oxide clusters. The meeting will highlight the need to combine advanced computational tools with experimental synthesis and characterization techniques. \nThe meeting will be hosted at the CSIC Central Campus in Madrid. The program includes 14 lectures and 10 hot topic presentations (see agenda below). Accommodation to every participant is suggested at the nearby CSIC-Residence. We encourage the youngest researchers to present posters and deliver short flash poster presentations. It is also possible just to attend the meeting without delivering a presentation\, contributing to the discussion. \nEvent sponsor: Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) – Royal Society of Chemistry \nEvent partner: GEFAM (Grupo Especializado de Física Atómica y Molecular – RSEF – RSEQ) \nList of speakers \nInvited Lectures (in alphabetical order)\nNoelia Barrabés – TU-Wien \nWolfgang E.

SUMMARY:"COSY" Satellite of the Cluster-Surface Interaction Meeting
DESCRIPTION:A dedicated satellite meeting will be organized as a follow-up of the Cluster-Surface Interaction-2024 (CSI-2024) conference to be held in Benried\, rather than Tutzing and near Munich\, Germany in 7-9 April 2024:  https://www.e-conversion.de/csi-2024. The CSI conference series is well-established\, has been running since 2010\, and its meetings are focused on the general topic of deriving fundamental and applied knowledge on the interaction between metal or metal oxide clusters and their deposition support. Various aspects of clusters deposited on surfaces are typically considered\, with a particular focus on growth\, dynamics\, electronic structure\, and applications\, addressing both experimental and theoretical modelling aspects. Cluster deposition on supports represents an important form of confinement\, with implications in various fields\, including heterogeneous catalysis\, sensing\, etc. The COSY Action and in particular its WG3 has many members working in closely related fields. It is therefore natural to network and connect with CSI\, as a scientific community that shares common interests and perspectives. We therefore decided to join forces with CSI by organizing a satellite meeting of the CSI-2024 conference. Leading experts from the COSY network will be invited to deliver a talk at this satellite\, but participation is open to all COSY members.\n\nOur goals in organizing this satellite symposium are: \n\n1. To spread knowledge about the research conducted by COSY within the scientifically related CSI community\,\n2. To trigger collaborations between CSI and COSY researchers. This will translate into specific tangible outcomes:\n(i) minutes of the discussion table between COSY and CSI members to be held at the symposium;\n(ii) common publications and presentation at conference to be promoted by this meeting involving COSY and CSI members;\n3. Selected slides of the meeting shared via the COSY Action Web site.\nA number of members from the COST Action are confirmed speakers of the CSI conference (in alphabetical order): \n\nFrancesca Baletto\, University of Milan\nAlessandro Fortunelli\, CNR-ICCOM\nSandra Gómez\, University of Salamanca\nElisa Jimenez-Izal\, University of the Basque Country\n M.

SUMMARY:1st Webinar of the COST Action "COSY"
DESCRIPTION:The COSY webinars will be organized every three months (each webinar will consist of one lecture): \n\nMarch 25th\, 2024\nSeptember 18th\, 2024\n\nThe 1st Webinar:\nModerator: Kaido Sillar (University of Tartu)\nSpeaker: María Pilar de Lara-Castells (Spanish National Research Council) \n \nSpeaker: María Pilar de Lara-Castells (AbinitFot Group\, IFF-CSIC\, Madrid)\nAn ab initio journey towards the molecular-level understanding of subnanometric metal clusters\nCurrent advances in synthesizing and characterizing atomically precise monodisperse metal clusters (AMCs) at the subnanometer (Angstrom) scale have opened fascinating possibilities in new quantum materials research. Their quantized ‘molecule-like’ electronic structure showcases unique stability and physical and chemical properties different from those of nanoparticles and bulk materials. When integrated into materials that interact with environmental molecules and sunlight\, AMCs may exhibit enhanced (photo)catalytic activity\, electronic properties\, and even optical behavior. Their tiny size (below 1 nm) makes free AMCs amenable to atomic-scale modelling using either density functional theory (DFT)-based approaches or methods at a higher level of ab initio theory\, even including nonadiabatic (e.g.\, Jahn-Teller) effects. Surfacesupported AMCs can routinely be modelled using DFT-based single-reference methods\, enabling real-time molecular dynamics simulations on the nanoseconds scale. The study of their optical properties is also possible using timedependent DFT or reduced density matrix theory. All these computational and theoretical efforts aim to achieve a molecular-level understanding of the stability and properties of AMCs as function of their chemical composition\, size\, and structural fluxionality in different thermodynamical conditions (temperature and pressure). These efforts bear the potential of guiding experiments to control AMCs functionalities for applications. In this webinar\, the potential of state-of-the-art ab initio (DFT and beyond DFT) modelling will be emphasized through an illustrative overview of recent studies of free and surface-supported AMCs\, including a comparison with experimental measurements [1-17]. Possible directions for methodological enhancements on the ab initio modelling of hybrid AMCs-materials systems will also be discussed with a focus on AMCs-support intermolecular interactions\, including excited states. \nReferences:\n1.

SUMMARY:Second Virtual Meeting of the COSY WG3
DESCRIPTION:Control at the Nanoscale – Manipulating Structure and Properties of Nanoscale Clusters. Recent Experimental and Theoretical Advances and Future Challenges\nLik to registration:\nhttps://forms.gle/p9bvTfaYwgiYxJCK7\nThe 2nd WG3 Virtual Symposium will focus on recent experimental and theoretical advancements in the field of nanoscale cluster science\, as well as the future challenges and opportunities. The topics will include: 1) The controlled and precise synthesis and characterization of nanoscale clusters with different compositions\, sizes\, shapes\, and structures; 2) The manipulation and control of nanoscale clusters using external stimuli such as light\, electric fields\, magnetic fields\, or chemical agents; 3) The investigation of the structure-property relationships of nanoscale clusters and their controlled applications in catalysis\, optics\, electronics\, energy conversion\, and storage; 4)The development of computational methods and models for simulating and accurately predicting the properties of nanoscale clusters. The symposium will bring together researchers from different disciplines and backgrounds who share a common interest in nanoscale cluster science at the extreme limit of control. It will provide a platform for exchanging ideas\, presenting results\, discussing challenges\, and fostering collaborations. The symposium may also feature external invited speakers who are leading experts in the field\, as well as presentations in dedicated sessions (see below) and panel discussions. The primary goal of WG3 S-2 is to make the point within the COSY community on the general topic of control at the nanoscale. Transfer of knowledge among the symposium participants\, dissemination of the results already achieved within the framework of WG3\, and positioning in terms of short- and medium-term perspectives will be the main goals of the symposium. Additionally\, the convenience of forming task-force groups (TFGs) on specific topics\, resulting in multi-authored publications will be discussed. An idea is eg that each TFG be led by an experienced researcher and co-led by an early-stage investigator. We will have a dedicated session about possible TFGs and also about collecting suggestions for a WG3 podcast we need to prepare\, please see the google form. \nIn terms of WG3 member contributions\, the program will foresee:\n(1) a limited number of “oral” presentations (Faraday Discussions type\, thus\, max 5’ time and 5 pptx slides for the oral presentation + 15’ discussion and Q&A) on recent methodological advances or novel concepts in the field (both experimental and theoretical);\n(2) a larger number of “poster” presentations (one or few\, please no more than 3! interesting case-studies/systems per presenter)\, supported by 2’ time flash presentations and 2 pptx slides.\n\nContributions from young scientists\, and colleagues from ITC countries and/or lesser represented gender are welcome.\n  \nConference Schedule – Essential Program (November 27th\, 2023)\n\n\n\nTime\nEvent\nChairs\nPresenters\n\n\n08:50 – 09:10\nRegistration and Forewords\n\n\n\n\n09:10 – 10:40\nSession 1 – Small Clusters\nFortunelli & Roongcharoen\nLopez-Quintela (L)\, Carrol (L)\, Krupka (S)\, Sanader-Maršić (S)\, Quintana-González (S)\, Shi (S)\n\n\n10:40 – 10:50\nShort Break\n\n\n\n\n10:50 – 12:20\nSession 2 – Larger Clusters and Particles\nMoskaleva & Carroll\nMelani (L)\, Barrabés (L)\, Banu (S)\, Bruix (S)\, Laverdure (S)\, Roongcharoen (S)\, Fortunelli/Kadam (S)\n\n\n12:20 – 13:20\nLunch Break\n\n\n\n\n13:20 – 14:50\nSession 3 – Complex Processes under Confinement\nGiovannini & Šekutor\nMudric (L)\, Rupprechter (L)\, Zinzani (S)\, Marques (S)\, Santos (S)\, Ólafsson (S)\, Lushchikova (S)\n\n\n14:50 – 15:00\nShort Break\n\n\n\n\n15:00 – 16:30\nSession 4 – Optical Properties\nLópez & Melani\nVanzan (L)\, Giovannini (L)\, Stener (S)\, Striccoli (S-1)\, Striccoli (S-2)\, Naumkin (S)\, Belo (S)\n\n\n16:30 – 17:00\nSession 5 – Discussion on podcast and TFGs\nFortunelli & Moskaleva\n\n\n\n\n> \nProgram with Titles of Presentations and DOIs/Links\n\n\n\nTime\nEvent\nChairs\nPresenters\n\n\n08:50 – 09:10\nRegistration and Forewords\n\n\n\n\n09:10 – 10:40\nSession 1 – Small Clusters\nFortunelli & Roongcharoen\nM.

SUMMARY:Molecules confined in helium nanodroplets - new light sources for new materials and new applications
DESCRIPTION:Molecules confined in helium nanodroplets – new light sources for new materials and new applications\nHybrid  Working Group 4 Meeting\nPrague (Czech Republic) \nDear colleagues and participants of WG4 of the COSY Network\, \nThe next COSY Working Group 4 (Helium nanodroplets in science and engineering) meeting will be organized as a hybrid meeting at ELI Beamlines near Prague\, Czech Rep. on 16th of June 2023. The title is Molecules confined in helium nanodroplets – new light sources for new materials and new applications The tentative schedule is: 9:30 – 12:00 and 15:00 – 18:00 and we plan to have 10 oral presentations (in person and online). There will be a lab tour at ELI 13:00-15:00. Besides the scientific presentations we will discuss possibilities for joint activities (research visits\, collaborations\, workshops). \nWe would like to encourage especially younger researchers to attend this meeting and to present their work. This is a great opportunity for less experienced presenters to get some experience in a semi-formal environment. So please forward this message to potentially interested postdocs and PhD students in your group. \nPlease sign up with this form and indicate whether you want to come to ELI in person and whether you would like to give an oral presentation (25min.). The deadline for registration is May 14th.\nhttps://forms.office.com/e/tc10QCQ1BL \nWe are looking forward to meeting many you all on 16th of June and hopefully have an inspiring meeting and active networking. \nBest regards\,  Marcel Mudrich\, Maria Krikunova and María Pilar de Lara-Castells \n  \nFriday\, June 16\, 2023\n8:45 AM | (UTC+02:00) Belgrade\, Bratislava\, Budapest\, Ljubljana\, Prague | 9 hrs \nStart Meeting\nProgram\n \n\n\n\n\n9:00-9:10 \n\n\nWelcome \n\n\nPilar\, Maria\, Marcel \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n9:10:-9:45 \n\n\nTalk 1 \n\n\nEva Klimešová & Lucie Jurkovičová \n\n\nUltrafast dynamics in nanoparticles and tunable intense EUV pulses at ELI Beamlines \n\n\n\n\n9:50-10:15 \n\n\nTalk 2 \n\n\nConstant Schouder \n\n\nSolvation dynamics of alkali ions in helium nanodroplets \n\n\n\n\n10:20-10:45 \n\n\nTalk 3 \n\n\nNicolaj Toft \n\n\nCoulomb-explosion imaging of vibrational wave packets in alkali dimers on the surface of helium \n\n\n\n\n10:45 -11:00 \n\n\nCoffee break \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n11:00-11:25 \n\n\nTalk 4 \n\n\nMiguel González \n\n\nOn the dynamics of photodissociation and vibrational relaxation of diatomics in HeNDs \n\n\n\n\n11:30-11:55 \n\n\nTalk 5 \n\n\nMichael Stadlhofer \n\n\nFemtosecond photoexcitation dynamics of dimers solvated in helium nanodroplets: vibrational wave packets and predissociation \n\n\n\n\n12:00-12:25 \n\n\nTalk 6 \n\n\nArne Morlok \n\n\n2D electronic spectroscopy on doped rare gas clusters \n\n\n\n\n12:30-13:30 \n\n\nLunch break \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n13:30-15:00 \n\n\nLab tour \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n15:00-15:25 \n\n\nTalk 7 \n\n\nIstvan Foldes \n\n\nNanoplasma effects on High Harmonic Generation in Clusters and in He Nanodroplets \n\n\n\n\n15:30-15:55 \n\n\nTalk 8 \n\n\nJakob Asmussen \n\n\nPhotoelectron- and ion spectroscopy from a wide range of helium nanodroplet sizes \n\n\n\n\n16:00-16:15 \n\n\nCoffee break \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n16:15-16:40 \n\n\nTalk 9 \n\n\nLtaief Ben Ltaief \n\n\nEfficient indirect interatomic coulombic decay induced by photoelectron impact excitation in large \nHe nanodroplets \n\n\n\n\n16:45-17:10 \n\n\nTalk 10 \n\n\nElisabeth Gruber \n\n\nAn investigation into the sequential ionization of dopants within helium nanodroplets \n\n\n\n\n17:15-17:30 \n\n\nConcluding remarks \n\n\nPilar\, Maria\, Marcel \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizers\nMarcel Mudrich – WG4 Leader\, Maria Krikunova – WG4 co-Leader and María Pilar de Lara-Castells – Action Chair
