at Goettingen University, Germany. There is a

one-week course October 7-11, 2019 and a

two-week course October 7-18, 2019, which adds one week of advanced projects.

The purpose of the course is to introduce students to the state-of-the-art of modern ab-initio calculations in the context of density-functional theory. Lectures provide the theoretical background of the methods as well as useful concepts for rationalising the electronic structure of real materials. The lectures are augmented by extensive hands-on practical training using our CP-PAW code guided by a number of experienced tutors. The course targets physicists and chemists during their masters and doctoral studies. After finishing the course, the students will be able to independently develop and carry out ab-initio calculations as well as to analyse and judge their results.

In the optional second week, lectures will cover advanced topics of density functional calculations and the students will carry out guided individual projects, which are presented and discussed in a seminar.

Registration deadline: June 15, 2019.
