PQ-DFT 2019

45 scientists gathered in May 2019 in Louvain-la-Neuve (Belgium), to discuss about precision, accuracy and uncertainty of density-functional theory calculations. Their thoughts and insights did not evaporate in thin air: they are archived on this website for further use by the community. 27 short talks and 7 lively discussion sessions are condensed in nearly 7 hours of video, 7 discussion digest documents and one summarizing action document

session 1: towards better benchmark sets

session 2: pseudopotential development

discussion digest: pseudopotential development

session 3: workflow and data management

discussion digest: workflow and data management

session 4: beyond total energies

discussion digest: beyond total energies

session 5: accuracy assessment

session 6: pushing numerical convergence

discussion digest: pushing numerical convergence

session 7: beyond DFT

discussion digest: beyond DFT

Some actions and recommendations that were distilled from this meeting, are summarized here.
