Workshop Objectives
- Get familiar with a variety of software packages relevant to modeling of excited states and nonadiabatic dynamics
- Get an overview of theoretical background for corresponding computational methods
- Get a practical experience with these tools and packages
Project rules
- Consist of: a) short written report, b) presentation at the last day of workshop; c) set of input/output files deposited on the GitHub repository
- Should actively involve one of the packages discussed over the workshop period
- Preferably not something you have an extensive experience with
