AiiDA virtual tutorial 2021

Welcome to the official home of the latest tutorial materials and videos of the AiiDA virtual tutorial, which was organised from 5-9 July 2021! Below you can find the schedule of the tutorial, as well as the AiiDA cheat sheet, which will come in handy as you are working through the material:

Note

Although the material on this page was used for the 2021 tutorial event, it has been reworked significantly to also allow new AiiDA users to learn all about the software outside of the scope of a live tutorial. We aim to replace the material on the main AiiDA tutorials website by this content soon, removing all event-related information.

Presentations

For this virtual tutorial, most presentations have been recorded beforehand, so you can watch them at the time that is most convenient for you. However, you are required to watch certain presentations before the hands-on sessions of certain days. These are tabulated below:
