The SIESTA School 2025 is a comprehensive online event scheduled to take place from 17 to 21 November 2025. It is designed for students and researchers in materials science who use or plan to use the SIESTA software for electronic-structure calculations and ab initio molecular dynamics. The program features lectures by senior developers, practical hands-on sessions, and an introduction to quantum-transport workflows, providing participants with both theoretical knowledge and practical skills.
The event aims to equip attendees - including graduate students, postdocs, and practitioners—with effective use of SIESTA, emphasizing aspects like parallelization, advanced solvers, and pre-/post-processing tools. Interested participants can apply via the CECAM event page, with a deadline of 17 October 2025.
