What is the ETSF Young Researchers' Meeting?

The Young Researchers' Meeting (YRM) of the European Theoretical Spectroscopy Facility The European Theoretical Spectroscopy Facility (ETSF) is a network of European research teams of acknowledged international reputation. The primary research focus of ETSF groups lies within the extensive domain of theoretical spectroscopy. ​​In addition to their research activities, ETSF places a strong emphasis on scientific outreach at both institutional and industrial levels by organizing international conferences and workshops. One of ETSF's key initiatives is the Young Researchers' Meeting (YRM).

The YRM is an annual meeting designed for early-stage researchers, including MSc students, PhD candidates, and postdoctoral fellows. Its primary focus is to unite young scientists at the beginning of their careers, promoting discussions and collaborations in a welcoming and inclusive setting. The objectives of these meeting are to provide young researchers with the opportunity to share their work and acquaint themselves with state-of-the-art theoretical methods applied both in their own field and in others. Moreover, it offers scientists the chance to network with young colleagues from different institutions, exchange knowledge and ideas and thus integrate further into the scientific community. Mirroring the extensive research scope of the ETSF network and following the tradition of previous editions, YRM 2025 will feature a broad array of scientific topics, organized into five distinct thematic sessions:

1. Electronic Structures and Methods Development

2. Optical Properties of Materials

3. Vibrational Properties of Materials and Transport

4. Strongly Correlated Systems and Magnetism

5. High-Performance Computing

In addition, we will have a poster session to showcase representative abstracts from these topics, providing a comprehensive overview of current research trends. One day prior to the poster session, presenters will have the chance to deliver a brief "flash presentation" (1-2 minutes) to introduce and motivate their posters, strengthening the discussions between the presenters and attendees during the session. Lastly, a special session with industry professionals will also offer insights into career opportunities outside academia and advice on how to pursue them.
