        Local correlation methods: From molecules to crystals
                             LCC2004

                   Scope of the LCC2004 Workshop
  Local Correlation techniques permit the accurate and efficient
  evaluation of post-HF correlation corrections in large molecules.
  Their adaptation for the solution of the same problem in
  non-conducting periodic systems is straightforward in principle
  but technically demanding. Implementation of local-MP2 the
  simplest form of post-HF ab initio scheme, in connection with
  the CRYSTAL program (CRYSCOR project) is currently at an advanced
  stage, as the result of the collaboration between the Theoretical
  Chemistry Group of the Torino University and scientists from
  different Institutions (M. Sch|tz, C. Zicovich).
  The workshop is aimed to analyze the situation in this area of
  research, to discuss computational strategies, to suggest new
  developments, to propose applications and to promote new
 collaborations.
  It will comprise a number of invited contributions (see below),
  panel discussions open to all participants, and a poster session.
