Dear colleague,

We are pleased to announce a two-weeks Hands-On Workshop and Humboldt-Kolleg:

Density-Functional Theory and Beyond - Basic Principles and Modern Insights
May 2 to 13, 2016, held at Isfahan University of Technology
http://th.fhi-berlin.mpg.de/sitesub/meetings/dft-workshop-2016/

This Hands-On Workshop introduces the basic and current developments in
electronic-structure theory for an intended audience of researchers
entering the field. Morning lectures on the most important topics will
be given by renowned experts, complemented by afternoon
hands-on sessions - practical exercises with computers - to deepen
selected topics. For example, we cover:

* Density-functional theory (DFT) and quantum-chemical approaches
* The most important numerical implementations
* Advanced exchange-correlation functionals (capabilities and limits!)
* Electronic-structure theory "beyond traditional Kohn-Sham DFT"
(including GW, TDDFT, many-body formalisms)
* Ab initio molecular dynamics and nuclear quantum effects
* Multiscale approaches and statistical learning based on first principles

... and a wide range of other topics.

The application and poster-abstract submission interfaces for the
workshop are now open until January 31, 2016. For space reasons, the number
of participants will be limited to approximately 70. Acceptance
decisions will be made soon after the deadline (February 10, 2016).

With kind regards,

The Organizers
(Carsten Baldauf, S. Javad Hashemifar, Hadi Akbarzadeh, Matthias Scheffler)
