Part I – Advanced Quantum Modelling (October 13-14 | Monday and Tuesday)

The first part combines lectures with focused hands-on training sessions on advanced quantum modelling techniques, including:

• Density Matrix Renormalization Group (DMRG)

• Quantum Neural States

• And other state-of-the-art methods

The program will also feature several 30-minute talks on recent developments in the theory and modelling of two-dimensional materials.

Open to: PhD students and postdocs working in condensed matter theory and electronic properties of materials.

Part II – Workshop on Transferable Skills: Scientific Research Papers Writing (October 15 | Wednesday)

The second part is a dedicated training on scientific writing, designed to strengthen research communication skills.

A 3-hours hands-on in-person workshop in which participants will learn the structure of a manuscript and the role and tips of each section (Abstract, Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion and Conclusions). Attendees will also learn strategies to write efficiently, from planning to drafting and revising, as well as identify and overcome common challenges in manuscript writing. This group training is designed to be capacity-building training sessions with individuals and group exercises.
