Dear colleague,

We are pleased to announce that registration has opened for the two-weeks
Sino-German Summer School:

Hands-On Density-Functional Theory and Beyond:
Frontiers of Advanced Electronic Structure and Molecular Dynamics Methods
at Peking University in Beijing, China
from July 30 to August 10, 2018

Topics covered during the event will be the basics as well as recent
developments of electronic-structure theory in materials science,
solid-state physics, and computational chemistry. The focus will be in
particular on density-functional theory (DFT), but also topics beyond DFT
will be covered: ab initio thermodynamics, molecular dynamics, and
statistical mechanics, excited-state properties, nuclear quantum effects,
multi-scale modeling as well as machine learning approaches to potential
parametrization, Big-Data dimensionality reduction, and property prediction.

The application and poster-abstract submission interfaces for the
workshop are now open until April 15, 2018. For space reasons, the number
of participants will be limited to approximately 60. Acceptance decisions
will be made soon after the deadline.

Financial support, in particular for German and Chinese students, is
available. See the web page for details:

We are looking forward to seeing you or your co-workers in Beijing!
The organizers
