Dear colleagues,

we are organizing a CECAM/Psi-K workshop entitled "Computational plasmonics: an ab initio and multiscale perspective", which will be held in Lausanne, 2-4 Nov 2015.
This workshop shall bring together theoreticians and experimentalists working on nanoplasmonics, with the focus on fundamental understanding of the plasmonic effects at the nanoscale.

Topics include:
-Description of plasmons from an electronic structure viewpoint
-First principles description of conventional and unconventional plasmonic materials
-Multiscale approaches to molecular and nanoplasmonic phenomena
-Experimental characterization of plasmons in nanostructures

There is no registration fee; applications for oral and poster presentations can still be submitted,
deadline extended to 20th July 2015
