CCL: Tutorial periodic DFT + workshop USPEX in France (june 2011)



 Dear CCL's

Prof. Artem R. Oganov  and myself are organizing workshop on " Discovery of Novel Nanoparticles, Surfaces and Bulk Materials: evolutionary structure prediction using the USPEX code", coupled with a tutorial on DFT for new users called "periodic DFT for beginners" using Quantum Expresso or VASP codes.

The workshop will take place in June 2011 in France (Poitiers and Oléron). Please see the website of the workshop at:
http://han.ess.sunysb.edu/~aoganov/Workshop_France.html

The workshop is open for pre-registration, we will appreciate if all interested people will do this pre-registration as soon as possible. This will help our planning.
This workshop should be extremely useful for all new users of the USPEX code and researchers looking at novels materials, please see website for details (there will be periodic updates of this website). We have planned an excellent scientific program, there will be opportunities to meet the best experts on this topic and start collaborations.

Bienvenu !
