Motivation

Electronic structure methods are becoming a fundamental tool of investigation in condensed matter physics, materials science, biology, and nanoscience. These methods are based on the solution of the Schrödinger equation for the electrons, without any empirical input, and allow for the description of the mechanical, vibrational, electrical, magnetic and several other properties of solids with "chemical" accuracy. This is a rapidly evolving field which also offers people in developing countries the opportunity to carry out cutting-edge theoretical research with relatively low financial investment in equipment. The purpose of this school is to strengthen the scientific base of junior scientists by exposing them to a selection of international high-level lectures combined with a week-long session of computational laboratories aimed at training students to the independent use of the codes for their own research.
