Asian Charge Density Workshop, IISc, Bangalore, INDIA

This workshop will take place on February 23-26, 2015 in the IISc campus in Bangalore, India.

There is an increasing interest in using the results of high resolution diffraction experiments to understand fundamental aspects of chemistry. This workshop will provide an intensive course in the modern methods in extracting chemical information from the electron density, including data collection, multipole refinement and extraction of topological and energetic properties. A substantial amount of time in the workshop will be allocated for hands-on computer sessions, to ensure that participants will gain some expertise in the use of the specialized softwares. The required softwares will be downloadable prior to the meeting, but participants will be expected to provide their own laptop computers.

Lectures will be provided by an International panel of experts in the field.

Workshop fee's will be US$100 for young participants and US$150 for senior participants. Bursaries will be available for young participants to contribute towards a reduction of fees and travel & accomodation expenses. It is expected that the majority of participants will be from the Indian subcontinent and other South Asian countries.

Applications are limited to 50 participants.

This workshop is supported by the International Union of Crystallography.
