We are organising a working group meeting of the EUSpec working group "platform" 
in order to take further steps in the development of a common data format and 
it’s implementation in the Electronic-Structure Common Data Format (ESCDF) specification and library. 

The first steps have been taken during an CECAM coding workshop, held earlier this year in Lausanne. 
Details about the resulting specifications can be found on the CECAM ESL web pages:

http://esl.cecam.org/ESCDF_-_Electronic_Structure_Common_Data_Format

The purpose of the planned meeting is to review the current specifications, 
in particular in view of all-electron codes, such as KKR and LAPW codes, 
and furthermore discuss a roadmap of the implementation of the ESCDF library.

The meeting will take place on 18 October at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics, Budafoki str. 8., Budapest
Building F.I. second floor, room Schay, and will last approximately from 9;30 to 4:30.

Even though we cannot offer financial support, we would like to invite code developers, who are interested in
interfacing their code to the ESCDF to join the meeting.
