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

Financial support, in particular for German and Chinese students, is available.
See the web page for details:
https://th.fhi-berlin.mpg.de/meetings/dft-workshop-2018

Topics covered during the event will be the basics as well as
recent developments of electronic-structure theory in computational
chemistry and materials science. 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 analytics, 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.

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

The organizers
(Xinzheng, Carsten, Xinguo, Hong, Volker, Matthias)
