  1. Licensing updates

    Dave Bardwell – Mon, 25 Nov 2019 11:30:00 GMT

    Announcing a modern, highly flexible licensing system 

    The current licensing system for the CSD has served us well for over 20 years, but it is finally starting to show its age. It ties us in to a yearly release cycle and limits the components that we may individually licence. It comes from a time before virtual machines existed and is not fully compatible with the world of computers that we now live in. As such we are excited to announce a long overdue licensing system upgrade will be rolled out as part of our 2020.0 CSD release this December.

  6. Meet the team! Rob Willacy, Materials Science Team Leader

    Rob Willacy – Thu, 14 Nov 2019 10:00:00 GMT

    2019 has been an exciting year for CCDC.  We've attended many conferences both in the UK and internationally, delivered workshops worldwide, formed a new scientific advisory board, and of course reached a million structures in the Cambridge Structural Database!  We've also been growing our team both in the UK and the US to help us continue our mission of advancing structural science into 2020 and beyond.   We'd like to introduce one of our newest team members, Rob Willacy, who joins us from GSK. He tells us about his passion for understanding solid state chemical problems  and how he hopes to apply his experience at CCDC to drive the centre's materials tools and services.
