Dear friends of the Psi-k community,

I am pleased to announce a new edition of the established series of MSSC Summer Schools on the Ab initio Modeling in Solid State Chemistry, to be held in the beautiful city of Torino (Italy), 6-11 September 2020:

This week-long Summer School with lectures in the morning and hands-on sessions in the afternoon aims at introducing advanced functionalities of modern quantum-mechanical codes in the context of computational materials science.

In particular, the CRYSTAL program will be used in the afternoon sessions and some of its new features to be released in a next version, will be presented.

Lectures from CRYSTAL developers will be complemented by lectures from CRYSTAL experienced users presenting their research activity in different fields: computational crystallography, mineralogy, vibrational spectroscopy of molecular crystals, electronics, thermal transport, biology.

See you in Torino!

Alessandro Erba, on behalf of the Organizing Committee.
