Minisymposium: Trends in GW-approaches for Nano-Sciences in Europe

25th and 26th of July, Intitute for Nanotechnology

The meeting aims at bringing together leading researchers in the field that are engaged in method developments not only for crystalline (periodic) systems, but also for more generic ones, like molecules adsorbed on surfaces. We are convinced that the potential for GW-applications in these situations is enormous and one goal would be to identify the most promising pathways
into the future. Moreove since still a lot of work still is to be done, from the fundamental (methodological) point of view, but also from an implantation (computational) point of view. It is hoped that the meeting may contribute to strengthen existing collaboration and also, perhaps, to initiate new ones so as to face the challenges in a somewhat cooperative approach.

Organizers:

Dr. Patrick Rinke, Fritz-Haber-Institut der Max-Planck-Gesellschaft, Berlin
Prof. Dr. Michael Rohlfing, Universität Osnabrück
Prof. Dr. Ferdinand Evers, Karlsruhe Insitute of Technology
Dr. Michiel van Setten, Karlsruhe Insitute of Technology

The symposium is finacially supported by the Helmholz program Science and Technology of Nanosystems.
