The 1st International Symposium on Computational Structure Prediction and Advanced Materials (ISCSP&AM) will be held in Northwestern Polytechnical University, Xi’an, China during Oct. 9-12, 2019.

ISCSP&AM is a science and technical congregation where the latest theoretical and experimental advances in new material discovery will be presented and discussed. The topics to be covered by the symposium include the new developments of computational structure prediction methods and the applications of advanced computational methods on the discovery of electrides, transparent conducting oxides (TCOs), superconductors and other electronic materials. This symposium is connected to two training schools of USPEX and ToposPro.
