The workshop focuses on the most recent developments in the field of electronic structure methods. For the 14th workshop we plan to extend the scientifc areas traditionally covered by the workshop to include new areas such as electrochemistry, quantum chemistry, and complex sampling methods, where new exciting developments have taken place in the last couple of years. The oral talks are by invitation only. However during the activity there will be one or more poster sessions at which remaining participants can present their work. The program has been set up by the organizing committee formed by: Ralph Gebauer (ICTP Trieste), local organizer, Francesco Mauri (Universite Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris, France), David Vanderbilt (Rutgers University, New Brunswick, USA). The list of invited speakers (and the titles of their contributions) for the 2009 edition is as follows: Ali Alavi (Cambridge, UK): Electron correlation via path-counting Claudio Attaccalite (San Sebastian, Spain): Electron correlation in graphene: band structure and electron-phonon interaction from GW Lilia Boeri (Max Plank, Stuttgard, Germany): Pnictides superconductors Roberto Car (Princeton, US): Quantum effects in water with path integrals Davide Ceresoli (MIT, US): Orbital magnetisation: ferromagnetic metals and EPR g-tensor Ron Cohen (Carnegie Institution, US): Quantum Monte Carlo Simulations of Behavior at Extreme Conditions Ismaila Dabo (Universite Paris-Est, France): First-principles electrochemistry for fuel cells and batteries Rosa di Felice (Modena, Italy): Electronic structure in DNA Abhishek Dhar (Raman Research Institute, Bangalore India): Thermal transport in low dimensional systems Davide Donadio (Davis, US): Thermal transport at the nanoscale Zhong Fang (CAS, Beijing, China): LDA+Gutzwiller method Giulia Galli (UCD, US): Efficient calculation of dielectric matrices for GW Borje Johansson (Uppsala, Sweden): Modeling materials at high pressure for Earth Sciences Jeff Neaton (Molecular Foundry, Berkeley, US): Electronic transport in nanostructures Huy-Viet Nguyen (Sissa, Trieste): Efficient calculation of RPA and RPA+ correlation energy of real systems Beate Paulus (Berlin): Explicitly correlated ab initio methods for metals Chris Pickard (St. Andrews, UK): Predicting new crystal phases ex-nihilo Gianni Profeta (Universita dell'Aquila, Italy): Hydrogen Superconductivity and other superconductors Lucia Reining (Ecole Polytecnique, Paris, France): Photoemission and optical absorption of correlated systems Karsten Reuter (Fritz-Haber-Institute, Berlin, Germany): Multiscale modeling approaches to surface chemistry and catalysis Gian-Marco Rignanese (Univ.
