Dear colleagues,

We are pleased to announce that the 4th (in-person) edition of the International summer School in electronic structure Theory: electron correlation in Physics and Chemistry (ISTPC) will take place in Aussois, Savoie, France, in the period June 16-29, 2024.

ISTPC 2024 is funded by CECAM (RA and GSO nodes) as a Flagship School (you can find the news on the CECAM website here), the GDR NBODY, and the GDR REST. You will find below a tentative list of topics that will be covered in the lectures. Three one-hour-and-half lectures will be given every day (two in the morning and one in the afternoon). Some tutorial sessions will be scheduled so that the participants can derive the key equations presented during the lectures. A poster session will also be organised so that the participants can present their research. 

1) Pre-registrations are now open on a first come — first served basis. The number of participants is limited to 40. In order to pre-register you only need to send an email to istpcVEDunistra.fr (replace VED by @).

2) Participants are expected to pay a registration fee (950€) that will cover food and accommodation expenses at the center Paul Langevin in Aussois for the entire duration of the school. The registration will be confirmed once the fee has been paid.

Looking forward to seeing many of you in Aussois in June 2024.

All the best.

The organisers: Emmanuel Fromager, Vincent Robert, Julien Toulouse, Pina Romaniello, Pierre-François Loos, and Francesco Sottile.
