ICTP Workshop on "Frontiers in Excited State Electronic Structure Methods: from Spectroscopy to Photochemistry”

16-19 May 2023, Trieste https://indico.ictp.it/event/10170/

 

Dear Colleagues,

We cordially invite you to join us at the "Frontiers in excited state electronic structure methods: from spectroscopy to photochemistry” workshop, which will take place at the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP), in the beautiful city of Trieste, on 16-19 May 2023. 

 

The workshop objective is to gather code developers from several electronic structure packages (Quantum ESPRESSO, ORCA, DFTB+, LiO, SIESTA, Newton-X, Octopus, Yambo, BigDFT, ONETEP, Shark, etc.) involved in excited state method developments and applications. We will focus our discussions on practical challenges, implementation bottlenecks, state-of-the-art methodological developments, as well as limitations in real systems applications. 

We also aim to enhance the cross-talk between developers of different free electronic structure codes, enabling a synergistic interaction between them, and promoting the use and development of free scientific software packages. 

 

We welcome your poster contribution. Applications are now open and we encourage you and your students to apply! Deadline for the applicants requesting financial and/or visa support is 16 March 2023

Deadline for all other applicants is 1 May 2023 

 

A limited number of grants are available to support the attendance of selected participants, with priority given to participants from developing country.

 

More information about the workshop, application process and the outstanding list of speakers can be found on the workshop's website: https://indico.ictp.it/event/10170/
