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.
Application deadline approaching: Hands-On Works ... (No replies)
Back to Event listings...
Dear colleague,
We wanted to inform you that the application deadline is approaching
for our Hands-On Workshop and Humboldt-Kolleg Density-Functional Theory
and Beyond - Basic Principles and Modern Insights.
Application deadline is January 31, 2016.
The workshop will be held from May 2 to 13, 2016
at Isfahan University of Technology
http://th.fhi-berlin.mpg.de/sitesub/meetings/dft-workshop-2016/
This Hands-On Workshop introduces the basic and current developments in
electronic-structure theory for an intended audience of researchers
entering the field. Morning lectures on the most important topics will
be given by renowned experts, complemented by afternoon
hands-on sessions - practical exercises with computers - to deepen
selected topics. For example, we cover:
* Density-functional theory (DFT) and quantum-chemical approaches
* The most important numerical implementations
* Advanced exchange-correlation functionals (capabilities and limits!)
* Electronic-structure theory "beyond traditional Kohn-Sham DFT"
(including GW, TDDFT, many-body formalisms)
* Ab initio molecular dynamics and nuclear quantum effects
* Multiscale approaches and statistical learning based on first principles
... and a wide range of other topics.
The application and poster-abstract submission interfaces for the
workshop are now open until January 31, 2016. For space reasons, the number
of participants will be limited to approximately 70. Acceptance
decisions will be made soon after the deadline (February 10, 2016).
With kind regards,
The Organizers
(Carsten Baldauf, S. Javad Hashemifar, Hadi Akbarzadeh, Matthias Scheffler)
