Telluride, Colorado: Tuesday July 7th to Saturday July 11th 2026

Organisers: Karl Heinz Hoffmann, Markus Pflaum, Christian Schön, David Wales

The workshop will start on Tuesday morning and run for five days, including Saturday.

Contributions are invited on all aspects of energy landscape research, covering exploration methodology from global optimisation, thermodynamic sampling, and rare events. One particular aim is to explore the connections between the topological and geometric properties of molecular landscapes, condensed matter, and the solution spaces for machine learning, self-consistent fields, and quantum computing.
