Dear Wannier friends and family,
I'm hijacking a bit the list to announce that we have launched the
registration and put online the program for Psi-k 2020 - this is the
largest conference worldwide in electronic-structure simulations, with
140 invited talks, 170 contributed talks (that you can apply for!) and
39 symposia in 6 parallel sessions.
All info at https://www.psik2020.net - official mail below.
Hope to see you in Lausanne!

Psi-k 2020: Registration is open! (EPFL 14-17 Sep 2020)
*Psi-k 2020 - 14-17 September 2020 - EPFL, Lausanne (Switzerland)*
Dear Psi-k'ers,
This is to announce that the registration for Psi-k 2020 is now open,
and the full list of invited speakers and symposia is online.
This is the largest event worldwide in first-principles simulations; it
is held every 5 years (the last two editions, in Berlin in 2010 and in
San Sebastian in 2015, had more than 1’000 participants each), and with
7 plenary talks, 140 invited talks, and 170 contributed talks it
promises to be the most exciting, defining event in the field.
Early-bird deadline is May 1, 2020 – one can register right away, and
submit an abstract later (by May 1, 2020, to be considered for a
contributed talk, or by Aug. 1, 2020, for a poster). All information –
including registration, program, accommodation, and childcare - is
available at https://www.psik2020.net <https://www.psik2020.net/>.
Looking very much forward to a successful Psi-k 2020, and to seeing you
all in Lausanne!

Chair, Psi-k Charity and Board of Trustees
