2026 School on Electron-Phonon Physics and Many-body Perturbation Theor
Posted: Tue Jan 06, 2026 8:53 pm
It is our pleasure to announce the "2026 School on Electron-Phonon Physics and Many-body Perturbation Theory" which will be held from June 15 to 21 at ICTP in Trieste, Italy.
This is an advanced school on first-principles methods for electron-phonon physics and excited-state phenomena,
featuring theory lectures and hands-on training with EPW, Quantum ESPRESSO, Wannier90, xARPES, elphbolt and Abinit on modern HPC systems. Building on a successful series of electronic-structure schools, this event trains graduate students, postdocs, and researchers in cutting-edge computational methods for transport, optical, and superconducting properties.
Topics include density-functional perturbation theory, GW quasiparticle calculations, and Bethe-Salpeter equation (BSE) approaches, with applications to semiconductors, 2D materials, superconductors, and topological systems.
The program combines morning lectures on advanced theory with afternoon hands-on tutorials using TACC supercomputers.
Thanks to generous funding from ICTP, the Psi-k, and the EPW Collaboration, this school has no registration fees.
In addition, a limited number of grants are available to support the attendance of selected participants, with priority given to
participants from developing countries.
Deadline for registration: 1st of Feb 2026.
For applicants requesting financial and/or visa support.
Deadline for registration: 27th of March 2025.
For other applicants.
