 to introduce PhD students, postdocs, and junior scientists to the use of advanced functionals aimed at modeling complex materials, such as the extended Hubbard and Koopmans functionals. By eliminating self-interaction errors and restoring total energy piecewise
 linearity, these advances broaden the scope of DFT by either improving the ground-state description of transition-metal and rare-earth compounds or by giving access to accurate spectral properties (like fundamental band gaps and band structures). Their actual
 implementation also takes advantage of linear-response theory through the self-consistent incarnation contained in density-functional perturbation theory. The first day of the tutorial will be devoted to an introduction to fundamental aspects of DFT using
 local and semi-local functionals, its application to materials science and physics, and its limitations. In the next 2 days, the tutorial will cover the theoretical framework of Hubbard and Koopmans functionals (the main topic of this event) and their applications
 to representative case studies. The reference computational platform of the tutorial will be Quantum ESPRESSO, a widely used open-source electronic-structure software, which implements both extended Hubbard and Koopmans functionals.</span></p>
