Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: On 5th of February, 2026 - the HiRSE Seminar Series will featured the winners of the 2024 Helmholtz Software Award. Abstract: The Helmholtz Research Software Award aims to promote the development of professional, high-quality, and sustainable research software and to recognize commitment to software as the basis of modern data science. The Helmholtz Software Award is presented by Helmholtz Federated IT Services (HIFIS), the Helmholtz Information & Data Science Academy (HIDA), and the Helmholtz Open Science Office. Winners in the three categories Scientific Originality, Sustainability and Newcomer, were selected by international experts and a final selection committee. The winners of the 2024 awards are: Scientific Originality Prize: CP2K (Quantum Chemistry and Solid State Physics). CP2K is a quantum chemistry and solid state physics software package running on graphics processing units and thousands of processing units. It is open-source and allows simulations, spectroscopy, vibrational analysis and energy minimization on a vast variety of theory levels.
