International Training school "Empirical and Ab Initio Thermodynamic Models of Minerals and Melts"
Apologize for multi postings
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce that a training school, "Empirical and Ab Initio
Thermodynamic Models of Minerals and Melts", will be held at the
Agricultural University of Athens, Athens, Greece, from 1st - 5th November,
2021, and is sponsored by the European Geosciences Union and the European
Research Council (via the IMPACT grant no. 681818 to RC).
The training school, aimed at early career scientists, is on thermodynamic
modeling of natural silicate liquids and their equilibria with minerals and
fluids, combining two quite different but complementary intellectual
approaches — macroscopic and atomistic. The macroscopic approach will be
based on the MELTS family of thermodynamic minimization algorithms, whereas
the atomistic approach will use ab initio molecular dynamics based on the
ABINIT density functional theory package.
Introductory sessions will include talks describing the models and
software, with short demonstrations. Practical sessions will aim to give
participants first-hand experience using a variety of software interfaces.
Examples from the morning sessions will generally be expanded on in the
afternoons, and some special calculations will highlight features that are
only available (or only convenient) on particular platforms.
Registration form Information can be accessed here (
https://sites.google.com/view/2ndmeltsgr), and a link to the registration
form here (https://forms.gle/6ehRgCyV8WCsCYFNA). Furthermore, please
address any queries to the workshop organizer, Ioannis Baziotis (
ibaziotis@aua.gr; ibaziotis@gmail.com).
Registration deadline: 1st October, 2021 (late registration is possible
but is not recommended)
Approval of training school: 2nd October, 2021
Fees - Room and board
There is no registration fee, however, the participants will have to manage
hotel accommodation for five nights - arrival on Sunday 31st Oct 2021, and
checking out on Friday 5th Nov 2021 (optional: if participate on the short
tour, will need to check out on Saturday 6th Nov 2021). Participants will
need to pay for the accommodation and then submit a claim to the organizer.
Upon the approval of the workshop, more details will be announced about the
maximum amount to be reimbursed and the procedure for reimbursement.
Transportation
Attendees should make their own arrangements for travel to and from Athens.
This will generally involve flying into Athens airport, transfer to the
city center (~1 hour via "Metro" or "Proastiakos" train). Details for the
transportation schedule can be found here (
https://www.athensairporttaxi.com/metro/timetable-to-airport).
Contingencies
Agenda may be scaled back or cancelled in case of small enrollment (<20
participants). Our ability to hold the workshop in-person also depends on
continued recovery from CoVID-19 in the European Union; a final decision
will be made whether to move to a virtual format by October 1.
Subsistence
Refreshments will be provided during the workshop for all participants.
Meals are not covered but there are plenty of inexpensive places to eat
around workshop`s venue, so you should allow approximately 30 € per day
for subsistence.
Computing
Each training school attendee will need to bring a laptop.
Field-trip
One-day post-conference optional tour of the Lavrion area is planned for
the last day of the training school.
