WIEN 2k

Adding a new dimension to DFT calculations of solids ...

26^th WIEN2k - W O R K S H O P DFT based simulations of solids with the WIEN2k code August 13^th - 17^th, 2019
Satellite Meeting of the 32^nd European Crystallographic Meeting, ECM32, Vienna, Austria (18. - 23. August 2019)

Announcement

The WIEN2k program package is one of the most popular DFT codes in Computational Materials Science and allows to calculate the electronic structure of solids with high precision. The WIEN2k workshop includes elementary and advanced tutorials on DFT, electronic structure calculations, magnetic, optical and spectroscopic properties. We start with detailed introductions and then have hands-on exercises with the WIEN2k program. In addition, there will also be a poster session for presentations by the participants. The WIEN2k community is steadily increasing and now we have about 3100 registered users. The WIEN2K code is continously updated to serve researchers in the field of Materials Science, thanks to the efforts of various contributors. Following a long tradition and with great vitality, the WIEN2k workshop provides an arena for both, new and experienced WIEN2k users who come together and discuss elemental questions as well as the latest developments in the world of WIEN2k.

For more information on WIEN2k see the WIEN2k Homepage

Online Registration and Fees:

The registration fee is just 200 Euro.

It includes workshop attendance, coffee breaks and the common dinner at the "Heurigen" (Note: this Heurigen is already included in the registration fee, do NOT reregister (and pay) again for this event during the workshop registration ! Other Satellites did not include the Heurigen trip in their fees and thus there one must make an extra registration).
Since the WIEN2k workshop is a Satellite meeting to ECM2019, you may also consider participation on this large and interesting conference. In any case, you can register either ONLY for the Wien2k workshop, or for both events.

Please register directly at the Satellites page of ECM2019.

If you have any questions, please contact P. Blaha.
