<pre>Dear Colleagues,

the Minnesota Chemical Theory Center 
and the Theoretical Chemistry Group of the University of Torino announce the

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
     MW-MSSC2017  Minnesota Workshop on ab Initio Modeling in
                  Solid State Chemistry with CRYSTAL

                  <a href="http://www.crystal.unito.it/mw-mssc17/" target="_blank">http://www.crystal.unito.it/mw-mssc17/</a>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

to be held in Minneapolis, MN (U.S.A.) from Sunday, July 9th through 
Friday, July 14th 2017.

Ab initio modeling has become of ever-increasing interest in solid state 
chemistry, physics, and materials science. Software for the 
quantum-mechanical study of a large variety of solid properties 
(structural, electronic, spectroscopic, thermodynamic, optical, elastic, 
piezoelectric, etc.) is now widely available to a rapidly growing community 
of specialists (theoretical and computational chemists and physicists), 
as well as non-specialists (materials scientists, crystallographers, 
geologists, solid state physicists and chemists, etc.).

The Minneapolis edition of the MSSC2017 School will provide the necessary 
formal background to understand the main theoretical methodologies and 
approximations underpinning modern ab initio solid state computational 
tools and it will also provide practical guidelines for the actual use of 
standard and advanced features of CRYSTAL.

The School will also present the newest version of the program 
(CRYSTAL17, to be released in 2017) with all of its new features 
and capabilities.

Registration is open, and runs through May 2, 2017.

Participation is restricted to 40 attendees, 
accepted on a first-come, first-served basis

The list of lecturers, registration details and general information can 
be found at the official School web site:
