Gaussian Workshop: Hyderabad, India in January 2020

Workshop is filled to Capacity:

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 Hyderabad, India at the The Park HYDERABAD from January 20-24, 2020. 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.
