Registration

Registration has ended. The workshop is full.

Preparation training

Students may join the SIESTA school before this for better understanding and a greater in-depth knowlegde of the SIESTA method, see here for details.

Students are expected to have some experience with DFT codes and condensed matter physics at an introductory level.

Computer requirements

We expect students to come with their own laptops with a functional Linux or Mac operating system. Windows users may use WSL to get a Linux system.
