Welcome to HT-DYNA Workshop

We are pleased to announce the HT-DYNA Workshop on Structural Dynamics of elementary Proton Transport Processes  which will take place  from September 1-3, 2025. The venue is the CCO Auditorium at Charité in Berlin.

Proton transport is as ubiquitous as where acid and bases meet in real-world situations: from hydrogen fuel cell batteries to proton pumps in transmembrane proteins.  Even though much progress has been achieved during the last three decades in the understanding of proton transport mechanisms either of the time scales involved – typically using experimental spectroscopic techniques – or at the microscopic level – using state-of-the-art ab initio quantum chemical simulations – only recently these two methodological approaches have started to touch common grounds. It is thus most timely to bring these communities from different backgrounds together in a workshop discussing the latest findings from which new insights and new activities are likely to be obtained.

We aim to bring these different communities together in a three-day workshop in the center of Berlin. For this, we will bring together scientists (both domestic and international), as well as younger postdocs and Ph. D. students, in an environment allowing for fruitful discussions.
