CMP-MLの皆様
第一原理計算・理論・応用に関する5年に一度のPsi-k conferenceが，2020年9月にスイスLausanneで開催されます．
2010年，2015年の会議は参加者が1000人を超える大きなものでした．
今回，ChairのNicola Marzariさんから，以下の案内を依頼されました．
内容はPsi-kのメーリングリストで6月末に発信されたものと殆ど同じです．
Sep 8, 2019締切で，シンポジウムテーマや招待講演者を提案くださいと言うものです．
私はInternational Advisory Board memberですが，提案はWEBから直接提出ください．
ご承知のようにPsi-kは欧州に端を発していますが，今回はアジアにも広く呼びかけているようです．
CMP-MLメンバーの皆様，あるいは周辺の皆様からの，積極的な提案や会議への参加を期待いたします．

Subject: Psi-k 2020 conference (14-17 Sep 2020 @EPFL): 1st announcement
+ call for symposia
Dear colleagues,
this is
1) a first announcement for Psi-k 2020, and
2) a worldwide community call to suggest thematic symposia (including
their invited speakers and organizers) for the conference.
As many of you know, every 5 years Psi-k organizes a general conference
in its field; the next one <www.psik2020.net> will be held at
EPFL in Lausanne, on Sep 14-17, 2020. It’s the sixth in the series,
after San Sebastian (2015), Berlin (2010) and Schwaebisch-Gmuend (2005,
2000, 1996). The last two events had more than 1000 participants each,
making this the largest event worldwide in first-principles simulations,
theory, and applications.
The conference will take place over 3.5 days, starting in the afternoon
of Mon Sep 14, 2020, and will see 7 plenary speakers and more than 120
invited and 240 contributed talks (the latter chosen among the submitted
abstracts), organized around 42 symposia (and, of course, a MAD evening
to shake it all off). All up-to-date information can be found at
www.psik2020.net; registration will open in November 2019, so
for the moment hold this date. Hotels listed are already ready to take
bookings at the negotiated rates.
In conjunction with this announcement, we are also issuing a worldwide
call to suggest thematic symposia for the conference – each symposium
will last between 2 and 3 hours, and cover between 2 and 4 invited
presentations (30 min each), and between 2 and 6 contributed
presentations (15 min each), that will be chosen by the symposium
organizers themselves among the abstracts submitted (deadline for all
abstract submissions will be May 1, 2020).
In order to make a suggestion for a symposium, you need to have a group
of up to 4 organizers, as broad and as diverse as possible, identify a
symposium theme (keeping in mind that 16 symposia will be broadly
dedicated to the core activities of the 16 Psi-k working
groups,https://psi-k.net/groups/) and suggest between 2 to 4 invited
speakers. Organizers of approved symposia will also be in charge, in May
2020, of selecting contributed talks (2 to 6) among all the abstracts
submitted to the symposium by Psi-k 2020 participants.
The Psi-k 2020 Program Committee <www.psik2020.net/committees>
will evaluate in October 2019 all the submitted suggestions – the
criteria will be
1. scientific merit, timeliness, and interest of the topic
2. intellectual diversity and inclusiveness of the speakers
3. scientific merit of the organizers
4. responding to the Psi-k mission statement (psi-k.net/)
You can find the symposium suggestion form at:
forms.gle/Q4QaVxPZgYuANQwWA
Deadline for suggestions is *Sep 8, 2019*, midnight CEST (central
european summer time).
Looking very much forward to a successful Psi-k 2020, and to seeing you
all in Lausanne.
Nicola Marzari
Chair, Psi-k
