A new major contracted research project was launched on 1 March 2009 in Molecular Thermodynamics and Modelling of Materials Laboratory (MTMML).  The program entitled "Quantitative Materials Informatics Systems for Virtual High-Throughput Screening for Industrial R&D Applications" aims to develop next-generation computational tools for industrial process and product design and optimization.

The project is a collaboration between MTMML and Scienomics SARL, an innovative Paris-based software company and is funded by OSEO, a governmental funding organization.  The project will run until the end of 2011.  As a result of this project, MTMML has two new post-doc positions immediately available.
