🧪 What is ORCA?
ORCA is a versatile and efficient quantum chemistry software developed by the Neese group. It supports a wide range of methods, including:
• Hartree–Fock
• DFT
• Post-Hartree–Fock methods (e.g., MP2, CCSD)
• Multiscale QM/MM techniques
It is freely available for academic use and runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows platforms.
________________________________
📚 Topics to Be Covered
• Introduction to quantum mechanical methods in chemistry
• Installing and running ORCA on your system
• Preparing input files for basic and advanced calculations
• Geometry optimizations and single-point energy calculations
• Frequency calculations and reaction transition states
• Analyzing output files
• (Possibly) An introduction to QM/MM and QM1/QM2 multiscale methods using ORCA
________________________________
🎯 Who Should Attend?
This workshop is suitable for:
• Students, researchers, and faculty with elementary knowledge of quantum chemistry or molecular modeling
• Beginners looking to start using ORCA for their computational research
• Participants from any country or region interested in theoretical chemistry
________________________________
📅 Tentative Date
The workshop is planned for late August or early September 2025.
The exact date and structure will be finalized based on the number of interested participants.
