THE CONFERENCE || April 21-23, 2006
============================================================================

This three-day conference will focus on Density Functional Theory (DFT) and
Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) with the intention of bringing
together these two communities. The conference is dedicated to Karlheinz
Schwarz (DFT) and Bernard Jouffrey (TEM) on the occasion of their
respective birthdays, which we will celebrate at the conference dinner.
The conference will follow two days of separate workshops for the two
fields.
