Collaborative Computational Project 3 - Surface Science
Collaborative Computational Project 3 (CCP3) brings together leading UK expertise in field of surface and interface science. It produces high quality, user friendly computer codes for the analysis and interpretation of experimental data in a wide range of surface science experiments. Currently chaired by Dr Simon Crampin (Bath University) and co-ordinated by the Materials Science Group (CSE Department, STFC Daresbury and Rutherford Appleton Laboratories), it is led by a working group of experimental and theoretical academics. CCP3 has very strong links to the National Facilities (e.g., Diamond Light Source) and the European scientific community through, for instance, the Light Source Theory Network (LighTneT).
The main activities of CCP3 are to:
Develop and maintain core software needed by the scientific community.
Undertake flagship software development projects, e.g. the recent Single-Molecular Vibrational Spectroscopy on Metal Oxides project, based at UCL (Andrew Fisher and Geoff Thornton) and Liverpool (Werner Hofer).
Maintain and distribute a library of codes (mainly through the CCP3 website).
Organise training in the use of codes and hold meetings and workshops (see meetings.)
Invite overseas researchers for lecture tours and collaborative visits

CCP3 Statement of Need - Request of Input
EPSRC has issued an invitation for statements of need for Collaborative
Computational Projects (CCPs), the aim being to assess which scientific
areas are of highest priority to include within the EPSRC supported
portfolio of CCPs, and the level of support required by them. Details
may be found at
http://www.epsrc.ac.uk/funding/calls/open/Pages/computationalprojects.aspx
A consultation with the CCP3 community is under way and all suggestions,
comments, statements of support/endorsement sent to ccp3@dl.ac.uk by 6th
September 2010 will be considered in the preparation of the statement of
need for CCP3.
