We are delighted to announce that the

24th ETSF Workshop on Electronic Excitations: Light-Matter Interaction and Optical Spectroscopy from Infrared to X-Rays

to be held in Jena, Germany, from 16 to 20 September 2019

https://workshop.etsf.eu

is now open for registration!

Deadline for abstract submission and bursary applications: June 7th, 2019.

More information on registration is available here.

The ETSF Workshop series provides a forum for excited states and spectroscopy in condensed-matter physics, chemistry, nanoscience, materials science, and molecular physics attracting theoreticians, code developers, and experimentalists alike.

The 2019 edition aims at discussing the most recent advances in the theoretical description of light-matter interaction focusing on first-principles methods.  

Topics covered by the workshop will include:

         Linear and non-linear optical spectroscopy
         Core-level spectroscopies
         Ultrafast excitation dynamics
         Electron-phonon coupling
         Light harvesting in natural and synthetic systems
