Congratulations to the 2023 eScience Center – Lorentz Competition winners 

19 Jul 2023 - 3 min

Each year, the eScience Center and the Lorentz Center join forces to organize a competition that brings together researchers and experts from the academic community and the public/private sector. The eScience Center – Lorentz Center competition encourages applicants with an innovative research problem to apply for the opportunity to organize a workshop at the Lorentz Center in Leiden. This year’s theme was ‘Computational Mathematics for Real-World Applications’.  

We are thrilled to announce the winners: 

A Time Warp in Digital Chemical Discoveries 

Modeling the Formation of Respiratory Aerosols 

The Lorentz Center will support this year’s winners in organizing a five-day workshop for up to 25 people with input from eScience Center research software engineers. The workshop for ‘A Time Warp in Digital Chemical Discoveries’ will be held 2-6 September 2024, and the ‘Modeling the formation of respiratory aerosols’ workshop will be held 23-27 September 2024. Both workshops will be held at the at the Lorentz Center@Snellius venue in Leiden.  

Congratulations to this year’s winners:
