Announcements of conferences, workshops, schools…
Due to the large number of posts recently, there is currently a delay of several weeks between posts being submitted and the corresponding emails being distributed to all users. Please bear with us while we try to improve this. In the meantime – and until this notice is removed – it would assist us considerably if you could submit only important and/or urgent posts and thus help to reduce the size of the mail queue. Under no circumstances should you resend posts multiple times when you find the emails are not distributed immediately.
In light of the Russian military offensive in Ukraine, we request that announcements relating to events, jobs and other activities associated with institutions supported by the Russian and Belarusian states are not posted to the Psi-k forum.

MSSC2021 - Ab initio Modelling in Solid State Chemistry
Virtual Edition (New Users)
Discovering quantum-mechanical simulations with CRYSTAL
London (UK time), September 20-24,2021
Directors: S. Casassa - A. Erba - N.M. Harrison - G. Mallia
https://www.imperial.ac.uk/mssc/mssc2021/
The Department of Chemistry and the Thomas Young Centre at Imperial College London
and the Theoretical Chemistry Group of the University of Torino, in collaboration
with the Computational Materials Science Group of the Science and Technology
Facilities Council (STFC), are organising the 2021 MSSC Summer School
on the "ab initio modelling of crystalline and defective solids with the CRYSTAL code".
The MSSC2021 will be a virtual workshop.
The morning and the afternoon sessions will be run remotely.
The week long school is designed for new users of CRYSTAL, PhD students,
Post-Docs and researchers with interests in solid state chemistry,
physics, materials science, surface science, catalysis, magnetism
and nano-science. It will provide an introduction to the capabilities
of quantum mechanical simulations and to the practical use of CRYSTAL.
CRYSTAL is a general-purpose program for the study of periodic solids.
It uses a local basis set comprised of Gaussian type functions and can be used
to perform calculations at the Hartree-Fock, density functional or global and
range-separated hybrid functionals (e.g. B3LYP, HSE06), double hybrid levels of theory.
Analytical first derivatives with respect to the nuclear coordinates and cell parameters
and analytical derivatives, up to fourth order, with respect to an applied electric field
(CPHF/CPKS) are available.
