Dear Psi-k'ers,
 
I announce to you a great joy - the registration for Psi-k 2022 is now open: https://www.psik2022.net/registration.

As you know, this is the largest event worldwide in electronic-structure simulations; it is held every 5 years, and the last two editions, Berlin 2010 and San Sebastian 2015, had more than 1,000 participants each.

 
After two years of lockdown we are finally live, and fully in person, with what promises to be one of the most exciting and defining events in the field. There will be 38 symposia in 6 parallel sessions, 6 plenary talks, 120 confirmed invited talks, and 170 contributed talks. Importantly, these 170 contributed talks will be chosen by the organisers of the respective symposia among the abstracts received by May 31. 

The deadline for early-bird registration is May 31 2022; you can register now and submit a single abstract at the same time or even later (but by May 31 2022 to be considered for one of the 170 contributed talks, or at the very least by June 30 2022 to present a poster); we will also allow one single transfer of any given registration. All information – including program, accommodation, and free childcare - is available at https://www.psik2022.netIn particular, we recommend booking accommodation as early as possible.

Looking very much forward to a successful Psi-k 2022, and to seeing you all in Lausanne!

Nicola Marzari
Chairperson, Psi-k 2022 Conference
