<span style=""> </span>is a software suitable for calculating magnetic/orbital phase diagrams and excitations, for localized moment materials using the mean-field and random phase approximations. This will be the third workshop/school on McPhase after the success
of previous workshops in Gijion, Spain and Grenoble, France. </span></p>

aspects of magnetism (exchange interactions, crystal field anisotropy, higher order interactions) presented by distinguished scientists in the field, while afternoons will concentrate on the practical aspects using the McPhase software suite.</span></p>
