&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
	The Schools provide an introdution to the theory of electronic structure and other atomistic simulation methods, with an emphasis on the computational methods for practical calculations.&lt;br /&gt;
	&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
	The African School series on Electronic Structure Methods and Applications is planned on a biennial basis from 2010 to 2020.&amp;nbsp; Previous schools were held in Cape Town, South Africa (2010), Eldoret, Kenya (2012), Johannesburg, South Africa (2015) and Accra, Ghana (2016).&lt;br /&gt;
	&lt;br /&gt;
	The School will also cover basic and advanced topics and applications of these methods to the structural, mechanical and optical properties of materials.&lt;br /&gt;
	&lt;br /&gt;
	The School will include hands-on tutorial sessions based on public license codes (including, but not limited to, the Quantum Espresso package).&lt;br /&gt;
	&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;
	During the second week, students will be asked to split up in teams and work on specific projects under the guidance of the lecturers and mentors.&lt;br /&gt;
	&lt;br /&gt;
	Please note that funds from the Joint Undertaking for an African Materials Institute (JUAMI) are also available for US students.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
