Please register on http://agenda.ictp.it/smr.php?2623 for the school.
(Note: Deadline for requesting participation is Sunday/9th/March/2014)

This school is "planned on a biennial basis ... and emphasize the theory
and computational methods for predicting and understanding properties of
materials at the fundamental level of electronic structure".

The 2014 school will focus on: Optical properties with TDDFT and GW;
Quantum Monte Carlo, and Molecular Dynamics. Both lectures and hands-on
computational sessions are included.

Some of the planned speakers/lecturers include:
Prof. Richard Martin (UIUC, Illinois and Stanford Univ., USA)
Prof. Nithaya Chetty (Univ. of Pretoria, South Africa)
