D9.1 - CSC Transnational Access success story

This document describes the fruitful collaboration of Dr. Volker Deringer from the University of Cambridge, UK, and Dr. Miguel Caro, from the Aalto University, Finland, which started through a HPC-Europa3 transnational access visit. The collaboration has resulted directly in three high-impact journal publications and was motivated by the different skills which together enabled carrying out ground-breaking research on industrially and scientifically important amorphous carbon films. The work has also advanced the simulation methods in general. The visits have secured a strong international link and active collaboration between the two groups. The role of HPC-Europa3 in the collaboration is discussed.
