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.

QMCPACK workshop on Quantum Monte Carlo, 5-10 June 2016, Illinois, USA

We are organizing a one week workshop (5-10 June 2016) at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign on quantum Monte Carlo techniques. Activities are aimed at students and postdocs, but all researchers are welcome. We are particularly interested in participants that are planning to use quantum Monte Carlo in their research. Lectures will be held in the mornings; hands-on sessions using the QMCPACK code via remote access to Argonne’s Blue Gene Q supercomputer will take place each afternoon. Collaboration between the QMCPACK developers and participants after the conclusion of the workshop is encouraged.

The program will support the lodging and some of meals of the attendees. Registration is $150 to help cover some of our expenses, but this is reduced to $75 if the participants present a poster. Non-US citizens and international visitors requiring a VISA to enter the United States are encouraged to contact us as soon as possible. To help these and other participants we have a special early decision deadline of 31 January 2016. For full consideration of admission to the workshop, our final application deadline is 28 March 2016.
