The African School series on Electronic Structure Methods and Applications (ASESMA) is planned on a biennial basis from 2010 to 2020. The schools emphasize the theory and computational methods for predicting and understanding properties of materials through calculations at the fundamental level of electronic structure. The activity will cover basic methodological aspects such as density functional theory, electronic structure, many-body methods such as DFT+U, BSE, GW and quantum Monte Carlo, as well as molecular dynamics. It will also cover the application of these methods to the mechanical, dynamical, electronic, optical and magnetic properties of materials. The school will consist of lectures and of hands-on computational laboratories based on state-of-the-art codes.
