Training

The group offers different types of training. We participate in the Master and PhD programs of the University of the Basque Country with several thesis completed in the past. In addition, members of the group regularly give lectures at different schools for PhD students. We also organize the series of Benasque Schools on TDDFT.

The notes for the lectures and links to the different schools can be found below.
