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.
Open applications for ASESMA (No replies)
Back to Event listings...
Dear all,
the applications for the 7th African School on Electronic Structure Methods and Applications (ASESMA 2023), which will take place on 12-23 June 2023 at EAIFR in Kigali, Rwanda, are open:
https://indico.ictp.it/event/10181
Deadline for applications is March 15th.
The aim of the School is to introduce young African researchers to the theory of electronic structure and other atomistic simulation methods, with an emphasis on the computational methods for practical calculations.
The African School series on Electronic Structure Methods and Applications is planned on a biennial basis from 2010 to 2020. Previous schools were held in Cape Town, South Africa (2010), Eldoret, Kenya (2012), Johannesburg, South Africa (2015), Accra, Ghana (2016), ans Addis Ababa, Ethiopia (2018). In 2021, ASESMA was held as an ICTP Virtual school. The School will also cover basic and advanced topics and applications of these methods to the structural, mechanical and optical properties of materials. The School will include hands-on tutorial sessions based on public-license codes (including, but not limited to, the Quantum Espresso package).
Topics:
-) Electronic structure theory
-) Density functional theory and functionals
-) Phonons
-) Magnetism
-) Molecular dynamics
-) Ab-initio molecular dynamics
-) Optical spectroscopies
-) Machine learning and data science
The school takes place thanks to the generous support of several institutions, including the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP), EAIFR, ICTP, and CNRS.
Best regards,
Nicola Seriani
