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 the tutoring of 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 scientific aspects of the method,
applications, hand-on activities on selected examples, and the
opportunity to receive a head start on a personal project.

The invited speakers list includes:

-Prof. C. Ambrosch-Draxl (Univ. Leoben, Austria)
-Prof. P. Blaha (TU Vienna, Austria)
-Dr. J. Luitz (TU Vienna, Austria)
-Dr. G. Madsen (Univ. Aarhus, Denmark)
-Prof. L. Marks (Northwestern Univ, USA)
-Dr. K. Jorissen (Univ. Washington, USA)
-Prof. K. Schwarz (TU Vienna, Austria)

Chair: Prof. J. O. Sofo (Penn State Univ, USA)
