COmputational Spectroscopy In Natural Sciences and Engineering (COSINE) is a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network[1] in the field of theoretical and computational chemistry,[2] focused on computational spectroscopy.[3] The main goal of the projects is to develop theoretical tools: computational codes based on electronic structure theory for the investigation of organic photochemistry and for simulation of spectroscopic experiments. It is part of the European Union's Horizon 2020 research funding framework.[4]

Objective
editThe main purpose of COSINE is the development of ab-initio research tools to study optical properties and excited electronic states, which are dominated by electron correlation. This tools are developed for the investigation of organic photochemistry with the aim of accurate simulation of spectroscopic experiments on the computer. To this end a complementary series of tools, rooted in coupled cluster,[5] algebraic diagrammatic construction, density functional theory, as well as selected multi-reference methods, are developed.
Nodes
editThe project is divided into 8 different nodes:
- Node 1, Heidelberg University is the coordinating node, led by Andreas Dreuw
- Node 2, KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, led by Patrick Norman
- Node 3, Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich,[6] led by Christian Ochsenfeld
- Node 4, Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa,[7] led by Chiara Cappelli
- Node 5, University of Southern Denmark in Odense, led by Jacob Kongsted
- Node 6, L'École Nationale Supérieure de Chimie de Paris, led by Ilaria Ciofini
- Node 7, Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim,[8] led by Henrik Koch
- Node 8, Technical University of Denmark in Lyngby,[9] led by Sonia Coriani
 This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement N° 765739 |
