Announcements of conferences, workshops, schools…
Due to the large number of posts recently, there is currently a delay of several weeks between posts being submitted and the corresponding emails being distributed to all users. Please bear with us while we try to improve this. In the meantime – and until this notice is removed – it would assist us considerably if you could submit only important and/or urgent posts and thus help to reduce the size of the mail queue. Under no circumstances should you resend posts multiple times when you find the emails are not distributed immediately.
In light of the Russian military offensive in Ukraine, we request that announcements relating to events, jobs and other activities associated with institutions supported by the Russian and Belarusian states are not posted to the Psi-k forum.
27th WIEN2k Hands-On Workshop for New and Existi ... (No replies)
Back to Event listings...
It is our pleasure to announce opening of registration applications for the 27th WIEN2k workshop supported by the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) (https://indico.ictp.it/event/10467/overview). The workshop will be held at ICTP (Trieste, Italy) from 08 April to 19 April 2024. The participation format will be “in-person” only. The program will have a balance of lectures with illustrative examples and hands-on sessions. We plan to cover a range of topics from basic functionality to advanced developments: density functional theory, band structure, magnetism, relativistic effects, phonons, charge transport, spectroscopy (optics, XANES, EELS, XPS), NMR, Mössbauer, Wannier functions, Berry phase, mapping Berry curvature, topological materials, surfaces. There will be a possibility to showcase your research by presenting a poster.
We anticipate hosting about 50 participants. The emphasis is placed on making the workshop accessible by eliminating the registration fee for all participants. A limited number of grants are available to support the attendance of selected participants, with priority given to participants from developing countries. All participants from developing countries will receive a free (!) WIEN2k license.
Registration applications are now accepted through the ICTP portal. The deadline for grant/Visa application is November 18, 2023. We expect to finalize review of applications and send invitation letters by early December 2023. The general deadline for all others is February 5, 2024.
We are looking forward to welcoming you in Trieste.
Yours organizing committee (Peter Blaha, Oleg Rubel, and Nicola Seriani)
