We are happy to announce the joint EPFL-ETHZ Summer School Advanced Electronic Structure Methods in Condensed Matter Physics (ESCOMP), which will take place at Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland on 8-10 July 2019.

This 3-day Summer School aims at providing an overview of advanced methodologies in computational condensed matter physics, including: (i) Density Functional Theory (ii) Many-body Approaches, (iii) Ab-initio and Quantum Molecular Dynamics, and (iv) Machine Learning Techniques for Electronic Structure Theory. A poster session will be held and few slots for contributed talks are available.

Registration Deadline: May 31st, 2019
Registration Fee: 150 CHF / 50 CHF (undergraduate students)
