The event caters to advanced PhD students, postdocs and established researchers. Some participants will come from a plasma applications background, but then they need to be acquainted already with computational methods in atomic, molecular or materials science, so familiar with relevant electronic structure theory and/or molecular dynamics approaches. Other participants will come from theoretical atomic, molecular or materials science and for those participants we expect that their work is concerned with or at least is relevant to applications in a plasma context. The event is not for beginning PhD students, but it could be valuable for established researchers that want to broaden their outlook. There is no registration fee for attending the event and accommodation at ICTP or in the vicinity is available at low cost. We encourage applications from around the world. Lodging support and some travel support is available for selected participants, with priority given to participants working in a developing country and who are at the early stage of their career.
