About FOMMS 2027
FOMMS 2027 marks the tenth edition of the prestigious triennial Foundations of Molecular Modeling and Simulation (FOMMS) conference, a premier international forum highlighting cutting-edge advances and applications in computational quantum chemistry, statistical mechanics, molecular simulation and theory, and continuum and process simulation. The theme for 2027, Molecular Modeling and Simulation: From Property Prediction to Inverse Design, reflects the growing role of modeling and simulation in accelerating scientific discovery and enabling transformative innovation across chemistry, materials, energy, and manufacturing.
FOMMS brings together a distinguished and highly interdisciplinary community of researchers and practitioners, including chemical engineers, chemists, physicists, and materials scientists from leading universities, government laboratories, and industry. The conference attracts participants at all career stages, from graduate students and postdoctoral researchers to established academic leaders and industrial innovators, creating a unique environment for exchanging ideas, forging collaborations, and identifying emerging research opportunities and technological challenges.
Organized in the tradition of a Gordon-style conference, FOMMS combines world-class invited presentations with extensive opportunities for discussion and scientific interaction. The program includes keynote and invited talks, poster sessions showcasing contributed research, panel discussions on frontier topics, and hands-on workshops focused on both research and education. The format is deliberately designed to foster deep engagement, stimulate new perspectives, and encourage meaningful dialogue across disciplines and sectors.
A defining feature of FOMMS is the ample time dedicated to informal scientific exchange and networking. The schedule includes generous breaks and social activities that take advantage of the stunning surroundings, offering participants opportunities to continue discussions while enjoying hiking, water sports, and local excursions. This combination of scientific rigor, intellectual openness, and collegial atmosphere has established FOMMS as one of the most influential and rewarding meetings in the molecular modeling and simulation community
