The purpose of the meeting, is to do an exhaustive description of first principles methods, the advantages of the study of materials using them, emphasizing the importance of the ab-initio methods to predict structural, electric, magnetic, electronic properties, etc., in general, physical properties of solids. Furthermore, the purpose of this activity is to discuss some of these widely used computational methods to obtain electronic structures.It is also sought to locate the state of the art of the modern techniques on first principles calculation focused on the study of materials.The seminar will be carried out with the contribution of foreign and local lecturers. Oral expositions of advanced students and recent PhD’s are also being encouraged to participate. The purpose is to establish relationships and cooperation to make possible the generation of new projects and the training human resources.
