Dear CPMD user,

We would like to inform you  about the next CPMD workshop (CPMD2005).

As the previous workshop of 2003, the site
where we will meet is again the Monte Verita conference
center Stefano Franscini of the ETH in Ascona, Switzerland. 
The dates are from Saturday September 3 to Thursday 8. 

You can find details about the workshop program and registration and
on the cpmd web pages at www.cpmd.org.
The deadline for registration and to submit a poster is
April 30. Due to limitations to the number of partecipants,
we cannot garantee a place for all at this stage.
Communication about acceptance will follow shortly after the deadline. 

 The 2005 workshop is special. In September that 
year Michele Parrinello will reach the age of sixty. This 
event will be celebrated with a two day symposium honouring 
Prof Parrinello's scientific accomplishments. We expect 
many of his colleagues and scientific friends to come 
and give presentations. Symposia of this kind tend to 
be somewhat exclusive. For this reason we thought it
appropriate to embed the Parrinello Symposium in the
the CPMD2005 workshop. In this way the participants to
the workshop will be able to attend the symposium.  It 
will take two days of the workshop, the 6th and 7th of 
September, the second  day (the Wednesday) coinciding 
with Michele's Birthday. 


There is no conference fee, but all participants will be 
charged for board and accommodation. The costs are CHF 950.- 
for a place at the Monte Verita center (5 nights, arriving 
Saturday leaving Thursday, people registering late may 
have to be lodged at hotels in town) or CHF 400.- when 
you prefer to arrange accommodation yourself. Both
the CHF 950.- and  400.- sums cover all meals, including 
breakfast at the conference center and the conference dinner. 
Ideally, we hope to have to sufficient funds to offer 
financial support to a limited number of junior participants. 
We will make announcements regarding this possibility when 
we have a better view of the budget.

                      Yours sincerely 

                                       Michiel Sprik
                                       Wanda Andreoni
                                       Matthias Krack
