Monday, August 25

11:45 Registration desk opens

14:00–14:15 Welcome

14:15–15:00 Plenary 1: Nicola Marzari

15:15–19:00 Symposia:

A1 Density and density-matrix functional theories
A6 Topological phonons and light-induced phenomena
B1 [1st part] Accelerating first-principles calculations across the scales: space, time and accuracy
B2 [1st part] Data driven statistics and configuration sampling
C2 First principles modelling of interfaces for energy storage and conversion

19:15 Early career researchers panel, Q&A and reception

The ‘Psi-k Early Career Researchers’ working group will host a careers and social event for early-career researchers, including a discussion session with a panel of researchers at a variety of career stages, followed by an informal drinks reception. The aim of this event is to give early career researchers – defined as those with a PhD working in academia without a permanent position – the chance to learn more about the panelists’ experience of obtaining their positions - in academia, at national labs and in industry - within the field of ab initio electronic structure, to discuss the challenges of this process, and to meet and talk with peers from across the community. The panel session will run for approximately 45 minutes, followed by drinks and canapes.
