A delegation of scientists from the Budapest node recently visited (2025.01.19.-22.) the Oviedo node to advance collaborative research on the theoretical and computational investigation of van der Waals magnets. The teams focused on leveraging high-performance computing (HPC) resources to run complex simulations that shed new light on these two-dimensional materials.

During the visit, researchers engaged in data-sharing sessions, explored simulation parameters, and compared different computational methodologies. The collective effort led to refinements in modeling approaches, enabling the group to obtain more precise insights into the characteristics of 2D magnets. Discussions also centered on future joint research projects, aiming to further integrate HPC infrastructures and expertise between the two nodes.

This meeting underscored the importance of cross-institutional collaboration in condensed matter physics, demonstrating how shared HPC environments can accelerate scientific discovery. Both the Oviedo and Budapest teams plan to extend this partnership, with additional site visits and virtual workshops in development to support ongoing projects in advanced materials research.
