Lisbon, 16-17 July 2026
On behalf of the Organizing Committee, we are pleased to welcome you to the 3rd Workshop on Benchmarking Solid State Properties, from the BEST-CSP COST Action CA22107 (Bringing Experiment and Simulation Together in Crystal Structure Prediction).
As in the previous editions, the workshop will provide an excellent setting to assess the progress of the BEST-CSP Action and stimulate collaborations between members of the different working groups involved in experiment or computation. The meeting has no registration fees and is open to researchers that are not member of the Action and are interested in the topics involving physical properties of organic molecular materials both from an experimental and a computational point of view.
Registration is mandatory for all participants.
Please have a look at the Scientific Program to get a glimpse of the lectures to be presented. Slots are available for oral and poster communications, so we encourage everyone to submit an oral/poster presentation to the workshop for consideration.
Participation of students and young researchers is strongly encouraged.
We look forward to seeing you in Lisbon on 16 and 17 July 2026.
