Dear all,

We are glad to announce that the

27th ETSF Workshop on Electronic Excitations: Shining light on matter through interdisciplinary theoretical approaches

to be held in Marseille, France, 3-7 June 2024 https://workshop.etsf.eu/

is now open for abstract submission and application for bursaries (Master/PhD students) until 4th March 2024.

The 2024 edition of the workshop focuses on interdisciplinary theoretical approaches to the characterization of excited state properties. Topics covered by the workshop will include:

- Non-equilibrium dynamics (Time-resolved vibrational and electronic spectroscopy, electronic correlation, coherence and decoherence)
- Charge and energy transfer in solids, in hetero- and nano- structures (role of point and extended defects, thermal effects)
- Advanced methods in the description of electronic excitations (electron-phonon coupling, multiscale and embedding methods)
- Theoretical and numerical developments (machine learning, many body formalisms, mathematical formalisms, non-linear optical spectroscopy)

Introductory lectures:
    • Nicolas Ferré, Aix Marseille University, France: Multiscale and Interdisciplinary Viewpoint
    • Claudia Draxl, Humboldt University Berlin, Germany: Theory viewpoint
    • Isabelle Régner, Aix-Marseille University, France: Influence of gender stereotypes on cognitive performance and recruitment decisions.

    Alicia Palacios, Universidad Autonoma de Madrid, Spain
    Ivan Maliyov, Caltech, Pasadena, California and Cinam, Aix-Marseille Université, France
    Adam Gali, Budapest University of Technology and Economics, Hungary
