The EPSRC National Service for Computational Chemistry Software is pleased to announce a three-day training workshop on the software package Gaussian. The workshop will be held on 19th - 21st September 2007 at Imperial College London. Gaussian is a general-purpose ab initio molecular electronic structure package which can be used to model a wide range of chemical systems. The main strengths of the package are its extensive functionality and ease of use. The workshop will be taken by Gaussian developers Professor Mike Robb and Dr Michael Bearpark.
The workshop will be aimed at complete beginners and will consist of a mixture of lectures and problem-oriented practical sessions. New PhD students and experimentalists are particularly encouraged to attend. The workshop will cover the basics of setting up input decks and interpreting output files, the use of the Graphical User Interface GaussView, and an introduction to more specialist topics such as the calculation of molecular properties, excited states and solvation effects. Participants will also be given the opportunity to work on their own problems and to consult with experts in the field.
