Selwyn College, Cambridge, United Kingdom, Tuesday 09 – Thursday 11 January 2018
This event is to be the next in the “mini” series associated with the “Total Energy and Forces” workshops, held at ICTP in Trieste every two years. Since 1987 the Trieste workshops have taken place in odd-numbered years, alternating with the mini workshops, held each even-numbered year in a different location. The most recent workshops of the mini series took place in Madrid (2000), Tenerife (2002), Paris (2004), Cambridge (2006), Bonn (2008), Shanghai (2010), Barcelona (2012), Lausanne (2014) and Luxembourg (2016). The workshop focuses on the most recent developments in the field of electronic structure methods from the first-principles perspective, and their diverse applications.
