Announcements

MDPI is delighted to announce the establishment of the Michele Parrinello Award. Named in honor of Professor Michele Parrinello, the award celebrates his exceptional contributions and his profound impact on the field of computational physical science research.

The award will be presented biennially to distinguished scientists who have made outstanding achievements and contributions in the field of computational physical science—spanning physics, chemistry, and materials science.

About Professor Michele Parrinello

"Do not be afraid of new things. I see it many times when we discuss a new thing that young people are scared to go against the mainstream a little bit, thinking what is going to happen to me and so on. Be confident that what you do is meaningful, and do not be afraid, do not listen too much to what other people have to say.”

——Professor Michele Parrinello

Born in Messina in 1945, he received his degree from the University of Bologna and is currently affiliated with the Italian Institute of Technology. Professor Parrinello is known for his many technical innovations in the field of atomistic simulations and for a wealth of interdisciplinary applications ranging from materials science to chemistry and biology. Together with Roberto Car, he introduced ab initio molecular dynamics, also known as the Car–Parrinello method, marking the beginning of a new era both in the area of electronic structure calculations and in molecular dynamics simulations. He is also known for the Parrinello–Rahman method, which allows crystalline phase transitions to be studied by molecular dynamics. More recently, he has introduced metadynamics for the study of rare events and the calculation of free energies.

For his work, he has been awarded many prizes and honorary degrees. He is a member of numerous academies and learned societies, including the German Berlin-Brandenburgische Akademie der Wissenschaften, the British Royal Society, and the Italian Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei, which is the major academy in his home country of Italy.

Award Committee

The award committee will be chaired by Professor Xin-Gao Gong, a computational condensed matter physicist, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and professor at the Department of Physics, Fudan University. Professor Xin-Gao Gong will lead a panel of several senior experts in the field to oversee the evaluation and selection process. The Institute for Computational Physical Sciences at Fudan University (Shanghai, China), led by Professor Xin-Gao Gong, will serve as the supporting institute for the award.

"We hope the Michele Parrinello Award will recognize scientists who have made significant contributions to the field of computational condensed matter physics and at the same time set a benchmark for the younger generation, providing clear direction for their pursuit—this is precisely the original intention behind establishing the award."

——Professor Xin-Gao Gong

The first edition of the award was officially launched on 1 November 2025. Nominations will be accepted before the end of March 2026. For further details, please visit mparrinelloaward.org.

The “Precision and Digital Agriculture” Section of Agronomy (ISSN: 2073-4395) aims to improve the effectiveness, sustainability, and resilience of crop production and agronomic processes, a variety of digital and precision technologies—such as AI, IoT, deep learning, imaging, and machine learning—are being integrated into key areas such as soil and nutrient management, agronomic crop protection, plant breeding, post-harvest handling, and resource optimization. This section highlights research that translates these innovations into practical solutions for crop and yield prediction, production, and agronomic management. Preference is given to studies where digital and precision technologies are applied within the context of crop science and agronomic systems, rather than those focused primarily on algorithm development, robotics design, or hardware engineering, without clear agricultural relevance. Focused on bridging cutting-edge advancements in digital agriculture with real-world agronomic practices, this section welcomes the submission of original research, reviews, mini-reviews, perspectives, and methodology papers that support sustainable intensification, environmental stewardship, and greater resilience in crop production systems.

World Soil Day, celebrated annually on 5 December, was established by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations to highlight the vital importance of healthy soils for human well-being, food security, and ecosystem balance. This global observance brings together scientists, policymakers, and communities to recognize soil as a living resource that sustains biodiversity, regulates water, and supports agricultural productivity. It serves as a reminder that protecting soil health is fundamental to addressing global challenges such as climate change, deforestation, and land degradation.

The 2025 theme, “Healthy Soils for Healthy Cities” highlights the crucial role of soil in supporting sustainable food systems, urban resilience, and thriving ecosystems. It underscores the need for collective action to protect and restore soil resources through sustainable management practices, pollution prevention, and the rehabilitation of degraded land. MDPI is committed to supporting this global effort by featuring research that advances soil science and sustainability—from soil fertility and hydrology to biodiversity, carbon sequestration, and environmental protection. Through continued collaboration and scientific innovation, we can safeguard the soils that sustain us, laying the foundation for healthier cities, resilient ecosystems, and a more sustainable future for all

Invited Speakers:

Dr. Elisa Pellegrino, Institute of Crop Science, Italy	Dr. Cátia Venâncio, University of Aveiro, Portugal	Dr. Ali El-Naggar, Western EcoSystems Technology, Canada
