Dear colleagues,

We are pleased to announce the “Electronic Structure Theory with Numeric Atom-Centered Basis Functions” conference, to be held from July 9 to 11, 2018, at the Technical University of Munich. The workshop will bring together key players from the FHI-aims and related European and international projects in a continuing effort to highlight, discuss, and advance the state of the art of numeric-atom-centered-based modeling of molecules and materials based on the first principles of quantum mechanics. A few of the topics that will be covered will include benchmarking efforts across different platforms, techniques beyond DFT (GW, DFPT, etc.), large scale electronic structure approaches, prediction of system properties and experimental observables, ab initio dynamics and quantum dynamics, electronic structure solvers, and more.

Further details of the meeting as well as information on how to apply can be found in our webpage:

The deadline for applications is April 20. We will be glad to see as many of you there as possible!

Sincerely,

The organizers: Volker Blum, William Huhn, Harald Oberhofer, Xinguo Ren, Mariana Rossi
