Goals
|
- To introduce graduate
students and young researchers, primarily from the South Asian
region (but also from elsewhere) to basic concepts as well as new
developments in the field of computational materials theory, with
the emphasis being on density-functional methods.
- To
enable active researchers in this field to share their work with
each other.

Structure of the school
|
- From July 10 to 12, there will be introductory lectures,
focusing on density-functional theory.
-
From July 13 to 15, there will be an international conference,
with a theme focus for each day ("functional
materials", "nanosystems" and "surface science").
-
From July 17 to 22, there will be lectures and hands-on computer
sessions, where students will learn how to run
DFT calculations using the
quantum ESPRESSO
distribution.
