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

WIEN2011: The 18th Hands on Workshop on the WIEN2k package

June 28- July 1 2011, Penn State University, University Park, PA, USA

The fifth US workshop on the WIEN code (18th in the history of 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, hands-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.

The invited speakes and tutors includes:
-Prof. C. Ambrosch-Draxl (Univ. Leoben, Austria)
-Prof. P. Blaha (TU Vienna, Austria)
-Prof. L.D. Marks (Northwestern Univ., USA)
-Dr. X. Rocquefelte (Univ. Nantes, Fr)
-Prof. K. Schwarz (TU Vienna, Austria)

Chair: Prof. J. O. Sofo
