COMP was selected as an Academy of Finland Centre of Excellence originally from 2000 - 2005, and again from 2006 &ndash; 2011 and 2012 &ndash; 2017. This award emphasizes the scientific excellence of COMP and its global reputation for computational physics. The centre is led by Professor Risto Nieminen, and consists of over 80 researchers, forming eight focused research groups. Projects are available in all of COMP&rsquo;s subgroups, and candidates are encouraged to explore the online group descriptions (<a href="http://tfy.tkk.fi/comp/"  target="_blank" >tfy.tkk.fi/comp/</a>) or contact subgroup leaders directly for more specific information:</span></p>
