Participant Testimonials
The DFT workshop was a great experience for me. It's a new field I'm trying to learn, and the workshop was a perfect opportunity to hear a variety of talks and meet experts in the area. During the talks I downloaded about 2 dozen articles must-read articles! I appreciated both the tutorial talks as well as the ones on current research - that is a good combination. Also, the informal discussions in the lounge and at meals were very valuable.' Logistics and hospitality were tremendous. In spare time I went swimming and attended the mid-week classical concert - a real treat.
I enjoyed very much to follow the workshop. I had the chance to discuss and exchange ideas with experts in my field, but also to follow and have an overview of the research and the aims of other scientists working in the same field (density functional theory) but from another prospective. I came back home full of ideas and with a strong motivation to continue my research.
This is a wonderful workshop. During the workshop I talked and discussed with several participants who have some intention to collaboration on our common interest. I am sure that my participation will impact my research and affect my supervision to my students directly or indirectly.
