An ICTP virtual meeting

The “Total Energy” Workshop has been held traditionally in Trieste every two years since 1987.  The Workshop is about recent progress in electronic structure methods and their applications.

The aim is a critical discussion of methods and of possible combinations and challenging applications. It has become one of the most popular regular events of the international ab-initio electronic structure community. In these strange times, it is important to keep our community together and to continue to exchange information on exciting developments in our field. For this reason, we decided to opt for an on-line “micro” version of the workshop, which has been for decades an essential place for meeting and discussion. The event will take place daily from 2 pm to 5 pm CET, to allow participation from many time zones. Beside three plenary talks, we plan to have 12 contributed talks, to be chosen among the applications, and 2 poster sessions.
