The recently extended Research Training Group (RTG) 'Benchmark Experiments for Numerical Quantum Chemistry' (BENCh) follows an interdisciplinary approach that focuses on combining experimental and theoretical methods. Photo: BENCh The German Research Foundation (DFG) has extended its funding for the Research Training Group (RTG) -Benchmark Experiments for Numerical Quantum Chemistry- (BENCh) at the University of Göttingen for another four and a half years. The RTG was launched in January 2019 and has now been awarded an extension worth around 4.5 million euros. The programme follows an interdisciplinary approach that focuses on combining experimental and theoretical methods. The focus is on the development of new experiments that challenge established theoretical models and thus form the basis for future developments in quantum chemistry. In addition, the programme contributes to the creation of datasets relevant to the ever-growing demand in the field of data-driven models in chemistry. "Computer simulations are now capable of describing and predicting chemical processes even at the scale of an atom," explains the RTG's Spokesperson, Professor Ricardo Mata from the Göttingen University's Institute of Physical Chemistry.
