Dear DFTB+ community,

(sorry for eventual cross-posting)

The deadline to register for the 2026 DFTB+ School has been extended to 
18th of May.

Due to support from CECAM, Psi-k and CCP9 the meeting will be held at 
the Daresbury CECAM-UK node between the 15th and 19 of June.

Details and registration are available at:
https://www.cecam.org/workshop-details/daresbury-dftb-school-1550

The main objectives of this event are to 1) Provide a “hands-on” driven 
introduction to the main features of the DFTB+ code, both for new and 
advanced users, with associated on-line training material for later 
reference. 2) Introduce the basic DFTB theory, providing recordings of 
the material for later viewing after the school. 3) Provide training 
both with existing models with wide general coverage of chemical 
elements (baseline parameters and xTB) and introduce how to accurately 
parameterize models for new new systems. 4) For existing users provide 
direct opportunities to discuss their work, research requirements and 
current challenges with several of the main developers of DFTB+. 5) 
Provide an introduction to the software engineering and code structure 
necessary for participants to begin developing their own extensions to 
this tool.

Looking forward to seeing you in Daresbury in June!

Bálint
