Strada Costiera, 11 I - 34151 Trieste (Italy)
An ICTP Meeting in presence

The Workshop is live-streamed on the ICTP CMSP YouTube Channel here

This Workshop is held in Trieste every two years, since 1987, and is  devoted to recent advances in condensed matter physics and materials science, based on realistic calculations of the electronic structure of complex systems.

The aim is a critical discussion of methods and challenging applications. It has become one of the most popular regular events of the international ab-initio electronic structure community.  This event also has the ambition to reach out to countries where the electronic structure community is not traditionally as strong as in Europe, the USA and Japan, in coherence with the mission of its host institution, the ICTP.

The workshop will also include the Award ceremony for the "Walter Kohn prize for quantum mechanical material modeling" (https://www.ictp.it/about-ictp/prizes-awards/walter-kohn-prize.aspx), co-funded by ICTP and the Quantum ESPRESSO Foundation.
