[Wien] wien2k workshop (cheap registration fee expires 5.April !)

[Peter Blaha]

Dear WIEN2k users,

We are happy to announce the WIEN2k workshop for 2016. It will be held at:

               McMaster University, Hamilton, Canada
                       4. - 7. June 2016

and hosted by O. Rubel (who contributed the BerryPI package to WIEN2k).

The 23rd workshop 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 and hands-on activities on selected examples. It is a 
unique opportunity to receive a head start on a personal project (and 
probably reduces the time of your PhD by at least one year).

You can present a Poster of your current work and in addition this 
workshop is coupled to the

               28th Canadian Material Science Conference

(http://cmscconf.org/; from 7. - 11. June 2016) which could be of 
interest for you too.

Hamilton can be reached easily from Toronto, where International flights 
are available to many countrys worldwide.

The reduced registration cost (until 5.April only !!) is CND $550 (about 
USD $400 ) and covers Lunches, Coffee breaks and the social event, which 
will be an exciting excursion to the Niagara Falls!
