[Wien] wien2k workshop at Penn State

[Peter Blaha]

Dear WIEN2k users,

I've already sent out a first information about a WIEN2k workshop in 
Singapore from 6-9.July 2007.

Herewith I'd like to inform you on a second opportunity to get training 
on WIEN2k, this time "on the other side of the globe", in the US:

The WIEN2k Development Team and the Materials Simulation Center at Penn
State are happy to announce:

WIEN2007: Hands on Workshop on the WIEN2k package

June 11-14, 2007, Penn State University, University Park, PA, USA

The third US workshop on the WIEN code is a hands-on activity dedicated
to teach the use of the WIEN2k Density Functional Theory Package. WIEN2k
is one of the most popular electronic structure codes used to perform
calculations with the Full Potential LAPW method. The workshop is a
unique opportunity to learn the use, power and limitations of the
package with tutoring by the authors and developers of the code. The
activities will be aimed at graduate students and researchers from
industry and academia. The only pre-requisite is to have a basic
knowledge of solid state physics, and chemistry. It is planned as a
four-day activity with lectures on the method, the scientific concepts,
applications, hand-on activities on selected examples, and the
opportunity to receive a head start on a personal project.
This year the participation is limited to 40 people.

Chair: Prof. J. O. Sofo
