Messages from the Psi-k trustees and other topics of relevance to the Psi-k community, e.g. community-led software codes or databases…
Due to the large number of posts recently, there is currently a delay of several weeks between posts being submitted and the corresponding emails being distributed to all users. Please bear with us while we try to improve this. In the meantime – and until this notice is removed – it would assist us considerably if you could submit only important and/or urgent posts and thus help to reduce the size of the mail queue. Under no circumstances should you resend posts multiple times when you find the emails are not distributed immediately.
In light of the Russian military offensive in Ukraine, we request that announcements relating to events, jobs and other activities associated with institutions supported by the Russian and Belarusian states are not posted to the Psi-k forum.
Psi-k Working Groups review (No replies)
Back to General announcements...
The Psi-k Network relies on its working groups and their spokespersons to represent the whole community working on first-principles computational materials science and to maintain a lively programme of conferences, workshops, tutorials and training schools.
A current list of working groups and spokespersons can be found at https://psi-k.net/groups/ and it has been some years since this structure was reviewed or revised.
At its last meeting, the Psi-k Trustees accepted the recommendation of the Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC) to establish a taskforce to review the purpose and structure of the working groups and to define the roles and responsibilities of their leaders. The taskforce will report its recommendations to the meeting of the Psi-k SAC in November.
The taskforce welcomes suggestions from the whole Psi-k community for new working groups in areas that are emerging or not covered by the current structure. Please send these to [email protected] by the end of May.
