Europe/Rome Deadline for applications: extended to 26 OCTOBER 2018 The “Total Energy” Workshop has been held traditionally in Trieste every two years since 1987. This year, the Workshop is about recent progress in electronic structure methods and their applications. The aim is a critical discussion of methods and of possible combinations and challenging applications. It has become one of the most popular regular events of the international ab-initio electronic structure community. This event also has the ambition to reach out to countries where the electronic structure community is not traditionally as strong as in Europe, the USA and Japan, in coherence with the missions of its traditional host institution, the ICTP.

Europe/Rome * * Online application now open! Deadline for application: 2 November 2018 * * Several million chemical compounds are known, but with 118 chemical elements the number of compounds that are stable and could be synthesized is potentially much larger. The Workshop focuses on recent developments in the prediction of crystal structures by computational methods. Thanks to enormous progresses in computational power and in algorithm development, we are now closer to the possibility to predict the structure of a material from the simple knowledge of its composition. This Workshop will be dedicated to presenting and discussing the algorithms for in-silico crystal structure prediction that were developed in the last years, focusing in particular on the approaches based on molecular modeling. We find particularly appropriate holding this conference in 2019, the International Year of the Periodic Table, since crystal structure prediction is rooted in a deep knowledge of the properties of the atoms. The Workshop will be divided into two parts: the first 3 days will be dedicated to an advanced discussion of the latest advances in the field and last 2 days will be dedicated to hands-on tutorials with structure prediction methods in combination with electronic structure and atomistic methods. A Poster Session will also be organized, and interested candidates are invited to upload a short abstract of their proposed posters during the application process (max. half page, in pdf format). Poster presentation is not mandatory, however participants are encouraged to present their results.

Europe/Rome School on Mathematical Models of Evolution January 21 – 26, 2019 Although new experimental technology is partly responsible for the current revolution in biological research, theoretical models developed by physicists are also playing an important role in changing the way biological research is being performed. The number of theoretical physicists and applied mathematicians migrating into biology has dramatically increased throughout the world, but South America still lags behind. The one-week school on mathematical models on evolution, co-organized with the ICTP-SAIFR, UNESP, FAPESP and IFT-UNESP, will feature lectures by physicists and applied biologists who have made important contributions to this area of biological research. The school is intended for graduate students and postdoctoral researchers in the physical and biological sciences. This activity will be preceded by the ‘VIII Southern-Summer School on Mathematical Biology’. Candidates may apply either for one or both schools, and preference will be given to PhD students in South America. There is no registration fee and limited funds are available for travel and local expenses. Lecturers and courses: Population genetics and evolution – Luca Peliti (SMRI, Italy) Understanding how genetic information is transmitted across generations is at the basis of evolutionary theory. This course will review the mechanisms of reproduction, selection, mutation and drift and will be the backbone for the more specific courses below. Evolution of individuality – Paul Rainey (IAS – Massey University, New Zeland) The origins of multicellularity and cell differentiation are profound problems in biology. Overview of theory and recent experiments. The evolution of immune systems – Curtis Callan (Princeton University, USA) The immune system has the ability to respond to arbitrary pathogens. Using samples from mice it has been possible to track the evolution of the immune system from embryo to adult, revealing surprising differences between species. Ecology and evolution of viruses – Joshua Weitz (Georgia Institute of Technology, USA) Viruses shape the fate of cells, populations, and ecosystems. These lectures will provide an overview of the nonlinear dynamics of viruses and their microbial hosts, including theory, models, and evidence for the joint influence of population and evolutionary dynamics.

Europe/Rome One key feature of the Internet of Things is the ability to rapidly create IoT applications, including scientific ones. This will allow collecting data from dozens, or even hundreds of low-cost, low-power scientific instruments. The lack of scientific data is an issue especially in Developing Countries, where the number of monitoring stations in limited and where data is unreliable due to lack of connectivity/intermittent power supply/poor maintenance. In order to address this demand, we propose the use of low-cost and low-power IoT nodes to complement the already deployed high-cost sparse networks for scientific data collection. While the IoT array will have inferior measurement accuracy due to the low-cost nature of the sensors, the high spatial density of the array is unique and will prove invaluable for research and operational applications. This workshop is intended to share good practices on how IoT nodes can be rapidly prototyped to carry out scientific measurements. Following a seven days hands-on technical workshop, participants will focus for two days on the requirements to develop three applications: radiation monitoring, oceanographic devices and weather stations. On the last day, the participants will share the results of their discussions/experiments. A basic knowledge of the Python language will be highly appreciated. TOPICS: Prototyping of embedded boards Introduction to microPython LoRa and LoRaWAN protocols Characteristics of analog and digital sensors Collection, analysis and the visualization of data Sensor requirements for radiative and oceanic monitoring and weather stations GRANTS: A limited number of grants are available to support the attendance of selected participants, with priority given to participants from developing countries.

Europe/Rome The fast growing use of quantum theory in technology-oriented and information-related fields is attracting the interest of an increasing number of researchers, especially young ones. The reborn interest in quantum physics has created a unique framework in which theoretical and experimental physics can fruitfully dialogue with information theory and computer science. The School intends to convey such an interdisciplinary spirit to graduate students and young researchers and will focus upon three themes, i) Quantum dynamics in the macro-world: quantum coherence and entanglement ii) Quantum theory as an interdisciplinary paradigm: quantum information and simulation iii) Quantum physics as a technology boost: quantum devices and machines emphasizing their inter-relations and covering the relevant background material, that will be taught by nine renowned experts in the above fields. The School is followed by a more specialized Workshop in which students attending the School are invited to participate.

Europe/Rome The school will focus on the organization of convection in the tropics and its possible implications for climate sensitivity. Some idealized convection permitting models show spontaneous clustering of convection can occur, drying the tropical atmosphere and increasing infrared emission to space. This effect could imply a strong negative feedback on the climate that may be missing or poorly represented in global climate models. However, there is open debate concerning the mechanisms involved, the implications for climate, the evidence in the observations, the role of shallow clouds and convection, the spatial scales of instability and the connection of this idealized aggregation to common examples of tropical organization such as the Madden Julian Oscillation or tropical cyclones. The event will consist of a one-week school, with some introductory lectures and the chance to work with observations and model output to address questions related to convective organization. In the second week, participants will benefit from open debate with over 20 of the world’s leading scientists in the field. Experts will work with student groups to summarize the debates in position papers, including results from the first week’s exercises. Topics: • Models of radiative-convective equilibrium • Convective organization in high resolution models • Evidence for organization in observations • Implications for climate and climate sensitivity • Representation in global models and their parameterization schemes • Connection to MJO, hurricanes and other examples of convective organization Invited speakers include: Biasutti, Michela, IRI Columbia U., USA Bordoni, Simona, Caltech, USA Bretherton, Chris, Seattle U., USA Chaboreau, Jean-Pierre, Toulouse U./CNRS, France Craig, George, LMU, Germany Emanuel, Kerry, MIT, USA Grabowski, Wojciech, UCAR, USA Jakob, Christian, Monash, Australia Khairoutdinov, Marat, Stonybrook U., USA Khouider, Boualem, Victoria U., Canada Mapes, Brian, RSMAS Miami, USA Moncrieff, Mitch, UCAR, USA Neelin, David, UCLA, USA Pincus, Rob, NOAA, USA Randall, David, CSU, USA Semie Gezahegn, Addisu, LMD, France Sherwood,Steve, UNSW,Australia Stevens, Bjorn, MPI, Germany Stirling, Alison, Met Office, U.K. Vallis, Geoff K., Exeter U., U.K. Wing, Allison, FSU, USA Woolnough, Steve, Reading U., U.K. Yang, Da, Berkley U., USA Zuidema, Paquita, RSMAS Miami, USA ICTP ICTP pio@ictp.it

Europe/Rome The School is a certificate course providing specialized education and training on development and implementation of knowledge management programmes in nuclear science and technology organizations. It is intended for young professionals in current or future leading roles in managing nuclear knowledge. Jointly organized by ICTP and the IAEA since 2004, this Nuclear Knowledge Management (NKM) School focuses on methodologies and practices, and explores various dimensions of nuclear knowledge management. These include processes and tools, challenges and benefits, culture influence, relationship with human resource development, IT for knowledge preservation and sharing. Learning is supplemented with real life examples from NKM programmes in different types of nuclear organizations. The aim is to encourage ‘forward thinking’ and to enable participants to apply theory and insights in their daily work. Pre-training is done via e-learning for a common understanding of the basics, allowing a more efficient interaction with peers and lecturers during the in-class School. Lectures at the ICTP by recognized experts are followed by case studies, practical work and breakout sessions where participants will have the opportunity to discuss issues and solutions. NKM group projects are also developed over the week. Shortlisted candidates will undergo an on-line pre- training course and a test, the results of which will be one of the elements to define the final list of participants. TOPICS: Nuclear knowledge and knowledge management fundamentals; Developing policies and strategies in managing nuclear knowledge; Managing nuclear information resources; Human resources development; Risk of knowledge loss and knowledge transfer; Practical guidance and good practices on NKM METHODOLOGIES: Blended learning course; Oriented to practical exercises and group projects; Additional continuous education certificate provided by MEPhI University, Russian Federation, after successful completion. GRANTS: A limited number of grants are available to support the attendance of selected participants, with priority given to participants from developing countries. There is no registration fee.
