Gaussian Workshop

This beginner-level workshop is structured to provide an introduction to electronic structure theory with a focus on on selected methods for computing energies, exploring energy landscapes and studying molecular properties. The workshop will focus on hands-on experience and a chance to interact with instructors and other participants.
The workshop will not be recorded.
