CCP-NC NMR/ML Masterclass 2026

A CCP-NC NMR/ML Masterclass will be held in Oxford 29th June – 1st July 2026.

Topics to be covered include:

• GIPAW theory of NMR parameters in solids (shielding, EFG, J)
• Running efficiently on parallel machines
• Visualisation and post processing tools (e.g. MagresView, MagresPython, NICS)
• Machine learning of NMR tensors

We invite participants to suggest additional topics of interest.

There will be extended practical sessions in which participants are encouraged to work on their own projects with feedback from the course tutors. There will also be an opportunity for each participant to present a short research talk.

Eligibility: Places are limited. We expect participants to have a reasonable level of experience with NMR calculations with GIPAW (e.g. CASTEP, QE, VASP), and to be using it as part of their current research. For example, a participant may have already attended a CASTEP workshop, or have published work using DFT.

Accommodation: We have a limited number of rooms for Monday and Tuesday nights at St Edmund Hall (one of the Oxford colleges). This accommodation has shared bathroom facilities. The cost will be covered by CCP-NC. Please do not book accommodation before your place is confirmed.

Cost: Course fees will be covered by CCP-NC. UK participants may be eligible to apply to the CCP-NC Travel fund for travel costs: https://www.ccpnc.ac.uk/opportunities/travel-fund

Timings: 1:30pm on Monday 29th June to 4pm on Wednesday 1st July.

Tutors: Prof. Jonathan Yates, Dr Chiheb Ben Mahmoud, Dr Kane Shenton

Deadline: End of day Friday 15th May. Applicants will be notified shortly after this date. In case of high demand we may have to limit the number of attendees per research group.
