The CS2PA 2026 Workshop on Crystal Structure Prediction (CSP) and Machine-Learned Interatomic Potentials, taking place June 1–5, 2026 at the University of Poitiers (INSPE), France.

This 5-day hands-on workshop will cover key CSP methods, including XtalOpt (evolutionary algorithms) and AIRSS (random structure searching), combined with DFT and machine-learned potentials. Participants will also explore high-throughput workflows and bonding analysis tools through lectures and practical sessions led by leading experts.

The event is intended for researchers with experience in DFT or ab initio methods. Participants will have the opportunity to run simulations, analyze results, and present their work (poster session and short talks).

Limited to 30 participants – selection applies.
Registration is now open online at https://cs2pa2026.sciencesconf.org/

We warmly encourage you to apply and to share this invitation with interested colleagues.
