The European Winter School on Theoretical Methods for EPIC has taken place on Feb 14-18 at the J Heyrovsky Institute in Prague. This meeting was supported by the EU Training Network 'Electron and Positron Induced Chemistry' (EPIC) and the European Science Foundation Programme 'Electron Induced Processing at the Molecular Level (EIPAM)'
The aim of the meeting was to learn more about the different theoretical methods currently being used to treat electron molecule-collisions, in particular, what does not work that well for each of them, and to establish which method or methods are best suited to be developed for the different processes being studied by the EPIC community.
Since the aim of the meeting was to be able to interact among ourselves and to ask the sort of questions that are not asked in more formal seminars, we wanted to allow plenty of time for each talk and its following discussion. We have also agreed on not to have any talks on Wednesday, with the idea of having time to rest or to split into smaller discussion groups. Each one-hour talk included quarter an hour discussion.
Achievements and conclusions of the winter school have been summarized in the report on the meeting
