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.
Videos of the Wannier90 School "Virtual Edi ... (No replies)
Back to General announcements...
Dear all,
We are glad to inform you that the video recordings of the first "Virtual Edition" of the Wannier90 School are now all available in the Learn section of Materials Cloud, at this link:
https://www.materialscloud.org/learn/sections/C8ad91/wannier90-v3-0-school-virtual-edition-2020
Beside the videos, the Learn section also includes:
- the slides of the presentations;
- the list of all questions asked during the presentations, with detailed replies by the speakers;
- all tutorial hands-on materials.
In particular, the tutorial was run on the "Quantum Mobile" Virtual Machine that made it very easy for all 30+ participants to quickly get started with the various codes presented (Wannier90, WannierTools, AiiDA, EPW, ...) with almost zero setup time.
As an additional benefit, anybody can download again the Quantum Mobile (we used version 20.03.1) and run the same tutorials, even if they could not attend the event.
We believe that these virtual events can be very effective and can become a model for the future, even when travel restrictions will be lifted, with the additional advantages of allowing a broader and more diverse audience, and of reducing our carbon footprint, under the slogan "less carbon, more silicon"!
Best regards,
Giovanni Pizzi, on behalf of all event organisers
