[Wien] 27th WIEN2k workshop (first announcement)

[Peter Blaha]

Dear Wien2k users,

It is our pleasure to announce the 27th WIEN2k workshop supported by the 
Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP).

The workshop will be held at

                 ICTP (Trieste, Italy)
           from 08 April to 19 April 2024.

The participation format will be “in-person” only. The program will have 
a balance of lectures with illustrative examples and hands-on sessions. 
We plan to cover a range of topics from basic functionality to advanced 
developments: density functional theory, band structure, magnetism, 
relativistic effects, phonons, charge transport, spectroscopy (optics, 
XANES, EELS, XPS), NMR, Mössbauer, Wannier functions, Berry phase, 
mapping Berry curvature, topological materials, surfaces.
There will be a possibility to show your research by presenting a poster.

We anticipate hosting about 50 participants. In order to make the 
workshop easy accessible we have eliminated the registration fee for all 
participants. In addition, a limited number of grants are available to 
support the attendance of selected participants, with priority given to 
participants from developing countries. All participants from developing 
countries will also receive a free (!) WIEN2k license.

Registration applications will be accepted through the ICTP portal 
(details will follow in the second announcement). We expect to finalize 
review of applications and send invitation letters by early December 2023.

We are looking forward to welcome you in Trieste.
Your organizing committee (Peter Blaha, Oleg Rubel, and Nicola Seriani)
