Dear all in the Psi-k Community,

We are glad to announce the

27th ETSF Workshop on Electronic Excitations: Shining light on matter through interdisciplinary theoretical approaches

to be held in Marseille, France, 3-7 June 2024.

The extended deadline for abstract submission and application for bursaries (Master/PhD students) is March 15th, 2024.

Workshop website: https://sites.google.com/view/etsf-workshop2024

The 2024 edition of the workshop focuses on interdisciplinary theoretical approaches to the characterization of excited state properties. Topics covered by the workshop will include

- Non-equilibrium dynamics (Time-resolved vibrational and electronic spectroscopy, electronic correlation, coherence and decoherence),
- Charge and energy transfer in solids, in hetero- and nano- structures (role of point and extended defects, thermal effects),
- Advanced methods in the description of electronic excitations (electron-phonon coupling, multiscale and embedding methods),
- Theoretical and numerical developments (machine learning, many body formalisms, mathematical formalisms, non-linear optical spectroscopy).

Introductory lectures:
    Nicolas Ferré, Aix Marseille University, France: Multiscale and Interdisciplinary Viewpoint
    Claudia Draxl, Humboldt University (Berlin): Theory viewpoint
    Isabelle Régnier, Aix-Marseille University, France: Influence of gender stereotypes on cognitive performance and recruitment decisions.
