An ICTP meeting

The event includes a two-and-a-half-day hands-on workshop along with participation in the XXV Latin American Symposium on Solid State Physics (SLAFES). More details about the symposium are available here: https://slafesxxv.sue-caribe.org/. Applications through this webpage are required only for those participants interested in attending the entire program. For those interested in attending the symposium only, applications must be made here: https://slafesxxv.sue-caribe.org/. Attending only the hands-on workshop is not an option.
 
The event aims to enhance the capabilities of scientists in Latin America by complementing the efforts of local networks like SCALAC, Red-Clara, and LaRedCCA2 in utilizing high-performance computing (HPC) in materials science. This event addresses inequalities and promotes the adoption of HPC methodologies by covering topics such as modern parallel architectures, practical skills for non-IT experts in using open-source scientific codes, running hybrid programs with accelerators, and hands-on experience in configuring and managing calculations for materials research and visualization. The workshop offers an intensive program that balances theoretical knowledge with practical application, ensuring that participants gain a solid understanding of how to apply HPC techniques to their research endeavours in materials science.
