EWinS 2016 - EUSpec Winter School on core level spectroscopies

--------------------------------------------------------------

Date:1 – 11 February 2016.

Venue: Ajdovščina, Slovenia

The COST action EUSpec (http://www.euspec.eu/) is proud to announce its first two-week winter school on core level spectroscopies to be held at the Applied Physics Faculty of the University of Nova Gorica.

SCHOOL MOTIVATION

The aim of the school is to introduce theoreticians as well as experimentalists to foundations of modern approaches for studying core level spectroscopies from first-principles modeling to the most advanced experimental spectroscopy techniques. The school will bring together experts and early career investigators working on advanced materials science, with a common interest in high level and up-to-date sophisticated spectroscopy experiments and modeling tools. The school will be an extraordinary opportunity for students and young researchers to be introduced to core level spectroscopies and to discuss with worldwide recognized scientists in a friendly environment.

Regular lectures and talks will be followed by hands-on courses on the following three codes: ORCA (quantum chemistry), WIEN2k (full-potential all-electron), and Quantum ESPRESSO (pseudo-potential).
