The Second International Scientific School “Combined topological and DFT methods for prediction of new materials” will be held in Samara University from July 4 to July 10.The Scientific School develops the theme of the combined application of topological analysis methods and density functional theory (DFT) for prediction of crystalline materials structure and properties. During the previous School (in September 2015) the leading schools introduced the idea of using the qualitative and semi-quantitative geometrical and topological analysis of crystal structures for the rapid screening of large databases and subsequent precise analysis of their results by DFT-modelling methods.Practitioners, researchers, graduate and postgraduate students, undergraduates and the students having scientific interest in sphere of research in crystal chemistry and materials science, for which modern topology and DFT-methods may be used, are invited to participate herein.Working language: English.An application must be completed for participation in the School.School Lecturers: - Vladislav Blatov - Doctor of Chemistry, Professor, Director of Inter-University Centre for Theoretical Materials Science (IUCTMS) (Russia, Samara); - Davide Proserpio - Professor, Department of Chemistry, University of Milan, research manager of IUCTMS (Italy, Milan); - Vladimir Saleev - Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Professor, Head of the Laboratory of Mathematical Modelling of Materials of IUCTMS (Russia, Samara).
