[Wien] Fwd: Survey on the use of simulation codes

[pblaha at theochem.tuwien.ac.at]

Dear wien2k users,

Recently I got a request for a survey of DFT codes and was also asked to 
forward it to the WIEN2k community.

Please see below.

**What is your experience with simulation codes ?*

Over the last decades, the field of computational materials science has 
greatly advanced and is now rich with an impressive diversity and very 
advanced capabilities. In the jungle of all the possibilities that are 
out there, it is sometimes difficult to know which would be the better 
(combination of) tools for our task, what the current and future needs 
of the community are, and what the general (or specific) feelings are 
with respect to this situation.
With this survey, we hope to be able to paint a more precise picture of 
the needs of our community and pave the way for the development of new 
open-source codes/libraries that will fill the existing gaps and be 
beneficial to all of us.
*Whether you are a user, a developer, and/or a project manager, we want 
to hear from you !*
*The results of this survey will be publicly available*- but don't 
worry, it's all anonymous.
If you would like to help us (and, really, help the community), please 
follow this link to the survey: https://forms.office.com/r/ta3CSj8g3Q 
<https://forms.office.com/r/ta3CSj8g3Q>

Filling this survey will take you about 5 to 15 minutes, depending on 
how much you have to tell us.
Feel free to share this message with your colleagues!
We thank you in advance for your time,
