The 11th Asian Workshop on First-Principles Electronic Structure Calculations (ASIAN11)
will be held at the National Sun Yat-sen University in Kaohsiung of Taiwan on Nov. 3~5,
2008 and will be preceded by two pre-workshop lectures on Quantum Monte Carlo given
by professor Claudia Filippi on the afternoon prior to the workshop.
This workshop is an annual series beginning in 1998 to provide a forum for discussing all important issues in physics, chemistry, biology and materials science using first-principles electronic structure calculations. The primary purpose of the workshop is to offer an
opportunity for exchanging ideas and enjoying in-depth discussion on the methodology
and its applications as well as promoting collaborations between participants. The majority
of the participants are expected to come from Asia while scientists from other regions are
also very welcome. Every time three to five leading scientists from outside of Asia are
invited. Following the last Asian Workshop held in Hiroshima University, there will be a
competition
for the best posters.
