We are happy to announce the upcoming hands-on workshop on crystal structure prediction using the USPEX code in Stony Brook on December 10-15, 2012.

The workshop registration fee is $500 and this covers hotel accommodation during the whole workshop and most meals, banquet at the President's residence, and an excursion on Long Island. Registration is open until November 9 (November 16 for late registration). We could get such low all-covering rates thanks to generous funding. 
 
USPEX is the most widely used tool in the world for crystal structure prediction, with over 1000 users. Theory lectures and practical hands-on sessions will be given by its developers and users, and some of the world's leading international experts in related fields.

Cordially yours,

Artem
