The Nuts and Bolts of First-Principles Simulation
A one-week hands-on workshop in the theory and practice of CASTEP
calculations run by those who wrote the code.
6th-13th December 2001 in the Department of Physics at the University of
Durham.
Second announcement and call for registrations:
Overview
This course is aimed at anyone who wants to learn how first-principles
simulation works and how to apply it. It is especially suitable for
those embarking on a Ph.D with a substantial first-principles element.
In the workshop you will use a completely new F90 version of CASTEP
written to a radical modular design. The workshop package includes a
copy of the academic code for you to take away and use in your own
research.
Registration is by web-page only. Please go to
http://cmt.dur.ac.uk/sjc/castep.html
and follow the link to the registration form.
Participation is limited to 100 delegates, the large majority of which
will be young researchers. We expect the meeting to be heavily over
subscribed, and therefore we will have to give preference to early
registrations. Note that the allocation of bursaries is subject to
further restrictions. Thanks to generous support from the ESF through
the Psi-k network we shall be able to offer many fully-subsidised places
for young researchers. These bursaries will cover the conference fee
and accommodation. They will be allocated according to ESF and Psi-k
guidelines: the main restrictions are that recipients should be aged 35
or less, and be working in psi-k groups or groups within countries that
participate in the ESF programme.
Full details can be found at the workshop web site

We look forward to seeing you at the workshop in December.
