CECAM - CONQUEST Summer School 2025CONQUEST Summer School 2025

Thanks to its efficient parallel implementation and the local nature of the basis functions, the Conquest code offers the possibility to perform density functional theory (DFT) calculations on thousands of atoms provided a reasonnable access to computing ressources, as well as hundred of thousands or a milion of atoms using the linear-scaling approach with massively parallel computers. As a result, scientists interested in DFT computations for nanotechnology, non-crystalline solids or biochemistry have now access to a wider range of systems with a larger number of atoms. The aims of this school is to introduce the Conquest code to the condensed matter community, for both, chemists and physicists, and support them in achieving their own calculations. The main goal is twofold :

to provide some basics on DFT-based electronic structure for solids with a special emphasis on the Conquest methodology and implementation,
to perform hands-on training using a supercomputer and familiarize with the code environment.

The school is open to a wide audience, from PhD students to senior researchers. For more information please visit the website conquest-school-2025 or contact

The registration is free but mandatory. Note that the number of participants is limited.
