Winterschool RCTF Pole Sud-Est 2021-2022





This series of lectures will take place either in Lyon (week 1) and Marseilles (week 2), with on-site lectures and simultaneous distant lecture through Zoom due to the government restrictions in the Covid-19 pandemic. It will be held from 18-29 January (6 ECTS for M2 students, 8 days of lecture). This school will cover modern problems in computational chemistry, from biomolecules to material sciences, and with an adequate range of techniques. Lecture notes will be sent by email directly to the participants, and also made available on the website of the Federation de Recherches Themosia.

Each day will consist in a lecture in the morning (2--3 hours), followed by an hands-on in the afternoon. The lecture will take place in a co-modal mode, in order to allow students outside of Lyon for the first week or Marseilles for the second week to follow the lecture. We are currently investigating how to proceed for the praticals and their evaluation. The validation of 3 or 6 ECTS will correspond to a short report, to be submitted within one month after having followed the lecture.
