20th International Workshop on Computational Physics and Materials Science: Total Energy and Force Methods (23 - 25 February 2021)

[ICTP/smr3554 - Lvova Viktoriya]

Dear All,

The call for applications is open for talks and posters contributions to 
"International Workshop on Computational Physics and Materials Science: 
Total Energy and Force Methods", to be held on-line with the technical 
support of the International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) on 
23-25 February, 2021. The event will indicatively take place from 2 pm 
to 5 pm, Central European Time, to allow participation from many time 
zones. Beside three plenary talks by Michele Parrinello, Nicola Spaldin, 
and Alex Zunger, we plan to have 12 contributed talks, to be chosen 
among the applications, and 2 poster sessions.

*Deadline for the applications for talks and posters is January 15, and 
7 February for participation.*

The Workshop is organized by Francesco Mauri (Universita` la Sapienza, 
Rome), Tanusri Saha-Dasgupta (S.N. Bose National Centre, Kolkata), and 
Nicola Seriani (ICTP).

The “Total Energy” Workshop has been held traditionally in Trieste every 
two years since 1987. The aim is a critical discussion of methods and of 
possible combinations and challenging applications. It has become one of 
the most popular regular events of the international ab-initio 
electronic structure community. This event also has the ambition to 
reach out to countries where the electronic structure community is not 
traditionally as strong as in Europe, the USA and Japan, in coherence 
with the missions of its traditional host institution, the ICTP.

In these strange times, it is important to keep our community together 
and to continue to exchange information on exciting developments in our 
field. For this reason, we decided to opt for an on-line “micro” version 
of the workshop, which has been for decades an essential place for 
meeting and discussion.

On behalf of the Organizing Committee
