Introduction to Gaussian: Theory and Practice
Gaussian, Inc., in collaboration with SCUBE Scientific Software Solutions, is pleased to announce that the workshop “Introduction to Gaussian: Theory and Practice” will be held in Kolkata, India at the Hotel Hindustan International, Kolkata from January 14-18, 2019. Researchers at all levels from academic and industrial sectors are welcome.
The workshop will cover the full range of methods available in the Gaussian 16 package with emphasis on new methods and features which make Gaussian 16 applicable to an ever widening spectrum of research applications. The workshop is structured to provide an introduction to electronic structure theory as well as a hands-on review for researchers active in the field, and will focus on methods for computing energies, exploring energy landscapes, studying molecular properties, and practical user considerations.
