Venue and Timetable
The workshop takes place in the Kongresszentrum Bad Hofgastein, Tauernpl. 1, 5630 Bad Hofgastein, Austria.
On Monday, February 22, there will be an optional get-together between 18:30 and about 21:00.
The workshop officially starts on Tuesday, February 23, 2027 at 8:45 am and ends on Friday, February 26, 2027 after the Minisymposium at around noon.
From Tuesday to Thursday there will be sessions from 9:00–12:00 and 17:00–19:00, which consist of lectures given by the four invited speakers as well as a poster session and a conference dinner. On Friday (until around 12) there will be a Minisymposium with short talks of selected participants.
Mission of the Workshop
In this workshop series (previously also known as Mariapfarr Workshop) experts present special topics in Theoretical Chemistry, basics as well as new developments and advanced techniques. The target group of the workshop are senior students, postdocs as well as all senior scientists who want to practice lifelong learning.
We want to offer in-depth lectures on the topics, the lecturers should not proceed on the assumption that the participants are familiar with the topic. 3-4 lecturers at most are invited to make the necessary time for the lectures available to them.
