Obiettivo
This project concerns a coherent training program for young researcher in the rapidly developing field of computer simulations. We focus on the understanding of real materials and the design of new materials with improved functionalities. The calculations are referred to as "ab-initio" or "first principles" calculations, since they use no adjustable parameters to solve the basic equation of quantum mechanics and can be applied to all condensed matter systems, ranging from metals and semiconductors to materi als in the earth¿s core, or biological systems such as proteins. Due to the steady advance of computers and computational methods such calculations become increasingly important in materials science. The present proposal is submitted by leading scientists of the European Psi-k research, which is funded by 20 European countries, the highest number of all ESF Programs. We estimate that at present about 2.000 scientists are working in Europe on ab-initio calculations. Maintaining a leading position of Europe i n this field cannot be taken for granted, in particular in view of the lack of structure in our education of young scientists. With this proposal we would like to use our experience in successfully structuring the research activities in 20 different Europe an countries, to set up a structured training program.The starting points of our training program are the specific needs of young researchers at their various stages of the scientific education. The Graduate Schools offer introductory training at the level of master and PhD students, The Hands-on Tutorials are aimed at those who are planning calculations for a specific application and/or who want to learn a specific code. The Summer Schools are organized for last year PhD students and postdoctoral researche rs to give them a broad overview of the field. Finally, the young researchers will be offered the opportunity to present their research at one of the Psi-k workshops or conferences.
