the 1st announcement of the 1st Paris International School on
Advanced Computational Materials Science (PISACMS2015), which
will be held from Mon Aug 24th to Sat Aug 29th, 2015, in the
Jussieu campus of the Université Pierre et Marie Curie, in the
heart of the Latin Quarter of central Paris. </span></p>

<span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial;
background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant:

aim of this school is to form new generations of young
researchers (PhD students, postdocs, young assistant professors)
to atomic, molecular and condensed phase computational methods,
from theory to the most advanced approaches, going from the very
microscopic to the macroscopic: Density Functional Theory,
classical Monte-Carlo and molecular dynamics, ab initio
molecular dynamics, metadynamics, linear response,
lattice-Boltzmann methods, Quantum Monte-Carlo. Our ambition is
to make students aware of the fundamental principles of each
methods, and then able to choose the most adapted one(s) for a
given scientific problem. The broad panel of approaches we
propose, both via theory lessons and computer lab "projects", is
rare in the international landscape. This school will benefit
both from the exceptional central Paris environment, and from
the local concentration of young and confirmed experts-teachers
in each specific theme of the school, including Michele Casula,
Guillaume Ferlat, Fabio Finocchi, Francesco Mauri, Fabio
Pietrucci, Benjamin Rotenberg, A. Marco Saitta, Mathieu Salanne,
Ari Seitsonen, Rodolphe Vuilleumier.</span></p>
