This small informal workshop has the aim of gathering together in Tuscan tranquility some of the world's most promising young quantum Monte Carlo researchers (it says here), allowing them to get out of the office and to enjoy some fresh mountain air and the cuisine of the Garfagnana in order that they stop looking so pale and stressed. Mornings and early evenings will be spent with short presentations and discussions about quantum Monte Carlo and related topics in the Institute Church. Long walks in the mountains will be organized.

List of invited speakers :

Richard Needs, Matthew Foulkes, Mike Towler, Alexander Badinski, Andrea Ma, Idoia Garcia de Gurtubay, John Trail, Matthew Brown, Neil Drummond, Pablo Lopez Rios, Zoltan Radnai, Nick Hine, Ryo Maezono
