One of the featured tasks of MaX is to offer to students and researchers a certain amount of online courses and video lectures in order to favour training at distance.

Links to some lectures are given in the following.

1.  (For kind courtesy of) Prof. De Gironcoli (SISSA) course on Electronic Structure: from blackboard to the source code. 

2. Lectures from the High-Performance & High-Throughput Materials Simulations using Quantum ESPRESSO and AiiDA – ICTP Trieste, January 16-23 2017 (website).

The course was organized by ICTP with the strong support of MaX and other institutions.
