Registration if free, and it will be limited to the first 50 requests. Don=92t wait too much ! The purpose of the workshop is threefold : i) to guide newcomers to ab initio Valence Bond to learn the necessary basics of the theory and start using some of the available VB codes (especially the XMVB and BLW programs), ii) to be a meeting ground for chemists from diverse scientific communities, whose interest are related with aspects of ab initio VB theory ; iii) to stimulate further developments in VB methods and algorithms, new applications of VB theory to chemical problems, and new collaborations. Considering these purposes, this workshop will include plenary lectures on Valence Bond theory, methods, and related models; short talks given by participants on topics relevant to VB theory ; ample time dedicated to free discussions ; "hands-on" computational sessions: basic initiation to the XMVB and BLW software. Extension lectures will as well provide connections between VB and other related wave function methods as well as with related interpretative methods. This event will be sponsored by CECAM as part of 2012 series of =ABCECAM tutorials=BB, so no registration fees will be requested. We might be able t= o deliver some financial support to a few participants, but there is absolutely no garantee for the moment. We are trying to arrange affordable housing in Paris close to the campus, more information on that will follow. You will find more information on the workshop, including detailed schedule and lecturers names, on our web site : http://wiki.lct.jussieu.fr/workshop/index.php/Workshop_on_ab_initio_Valence= _Bond_theory_(VB ) and you can already register on the following page on the CECAM web site : http://www.cecam.org/workshop-6-778.html We hope to see you next July in Paris !

Dear colleague,

I am pleased to inform you that a= workshop on ab initio Valence Bond
theory will take place next 16-20 Ju= ly 2012 in Paris (Universit=E9 Pierre et
Marie Curie, campus de Jussieu)= .

Registration if free, and it will be limited to the first 50 requests.Don=92t wait too much !

The purpose of the workshop is threefold :<= /p>

i) to guide newcomers to ab initio Valence Bond to learn the necessar= y
basics of the theory and start using some of the available VB codes
(esp= ecially the XMVB and BLW programs),

ii) to be a meeting ground for ch= emists from diverse scientific
communities, whose interest are related w= ith aspects of ab initio VB
theory ;

iii) to stimulate further developments in VB methods and alg= orithms, new
applications of VB theory to chemical problems, and new col= laborations.

Considering these purposes, this workshop will include p= lenary lectures on
Valence Bond theory, methods, and related models; short talks given by
p= articipants on topics relevant to VB theory ; ample time dedicated to
fr= ee discussions ; "hands-on" computational sessions: basic initiat= ion to
the XMVB and BLW software. Extension lectures will as well provide
conne= ctions between VB and other related wave function methods as well as
wit= h related interpretative methods.

This event will be sponsored by CEC= AM as part of 2012 series of =ABCECAM
tutorials=BB, so no registration fees will be requested. We might be able t= o
deliver some financial support to a few participants, but there is
= absolutely no garantee for the moment. We are trying to arrange affordable<= br> housing in Paris close to the campus, more information on that will
foll= ow.
