Hylleraas Meeting at Klækken

Overview

The Hylleraas Annual Meeting is a joint meeting between the Oslo and Tromsø nodes of the Hylleraas Centre, organized by the Young Researcher Parliament (YRP) representatives every year. This year, the Oslo node has arranged the meeting at  Klækken Hotell in Klækken, Hønefoss. 

A brief history of Klækken

Klækken lies a short distance away from Oslo in the commune of Ringerike, at the foot of Nordmarka, with a view of Norefjell before you. "Klækken" owes its name to a large old farm in the area by the same name. The farm was probably of wine and dates back to the first centuries. Since then, the current hotel has seen very different days — from a farm to a shuttle station to bank premises to a school hall and finally in 1969, when the Carlsen family acquired the property, it became one of the first conference hotels of Norway.

Food and Accommodation

All meals will be served by the hotel and covered by the Centre. Dietary requirements and allergy information, if any, have been provided to the hotel, but please double-check with a staff member when being served.

It was possible to arrange single rooms for all.

Talks

Hylleraas School

Simen Reine (Senior Engineer, Hylleraas Centre, UiO),

David Balcells (Principal Investigator, Senior Researcher, Hylleraas Centre, UiO)

The Hylleraas School is held for the students of the centre to discuss important topics within all the Research Themes (RT's) that constitute it and to promote cross-node collaborations. Simen will present this idea before us and talk about the past and future schools. David will talk about introducing some aspects of Machine Learning into the next scheduled School and also the Centre.

Moving towards more open and reproducible research

Agata Bochynska, Matthew Good

(Senior Academic Librarians, UiO, Norway)

Challenges to research reproducibility have become a big concern among scientists across academic fields, including computational chemistry, which most of you are working with.

Unavailable or undocumented research outputs, data, code, software or tools pose barriers to validation and reliability of computational work. Recent calls for more open and reproducible research led to new requirements from the funders and institutions to make methods, data and code more verifiable and reusable. But what does it mean in practice and how can you implement it in your own work? In this talk, we will introduce the main concepts and practical tips for moving towards more transparent and reproducible research.

Academics and entrepreneurs - do they mix?

Vegar Lein Ausrød

(Startup advisor, The Kitchen/Aarhus University, Denmark)

PhD – Entrepreneurship. Vegar will share his experience working with both students and researchers who have created startups from academic institutions such as NTNU, CERN and now Aarhus University. He will bring theoretical perspectives and practical tools related to how researchers can start dipping their toes into the world of entrepreneurship and startup.

Why can't I talk to everyone at once?

Cathrine Strøm

(Communication Advisor, Kjemisk Institutt, UiO, Norway)

To have target groups in mind increases the chance of being heard. But what kind of target groups is there? How can we communicate with them? This session will hopefully give you a better insight into the variety of target groups. Which target groups are important to you?

Hylleraas Software Platform

Simen Reine (Senior Engineer, Hylleraas Centre, UiO) ,

Tilmann Bodenstein (Researcher, Hylleraas Centre, UiO)

The Hylleraas Software Platform (HSP) is an ongoing project aimed at seamlessly linking the many software developments and computational activities at the Hylleraas Centre, in order to pave the way for advanced multi-scale simulations spanning time scales from atto- to milliseconds and length scales from single atoms to billions of atoms. Simen and Tilmann will give an overview of HSP and talk about recent developments and plans for the future.

What does it feel like to touch an orbital?

Audun Skau Hansen

(Senior Lecturer, Kjemisk Institutt, UiO, Norway)

As the groundwork for Web 3.0 is being laid across the globe, new opportunities are emerging for cross-platform data visualisation and interaction. Evince is a prototype for a visualisation module for the Hylleraas Software Platform, where we explore how aspects such as GPU-acceleration, data-sharing, web-embedding, virtual reality and interfacing between various platforms may affect how we interact with scientific data in the future. The talk will give a brief technical overview, showcase some possible applications, give a brief tutorial on how to contribute, customise and extend the functionality, and provide an outlook on future opportunities.

YRP Meet/ MT Meet

YRP Meet: Samiran Sen , Mahika Luthra

(Doctoral Research Fellows, YRP Representatives, Hylleraas Centre, UiO)

MT Meet: Trygve Helgaker

(Professor and Director, Hylleraas Centre, UiO) 

The Young Researcher Parliament (YRP) provides a platform to connect the Management Team (MT) with all young researchers of the Centre. In parallel sessions, the YRP and MT Team will present topics and concerns related to the development of the Centre and the well-being of its members. The audience will actively take part in important decision-making and future planning for the coming years of the Hylleraas Centre.

Important Information

Photographs will be taken and shared on social media for promoting the centre. If anyone has an objection, please contact the organisers before the start of the Meeting.
