The following groups form a small but important subset of the current ADF and BAND academic development groups. Most developments in ADF so far have come from the Baerends and Ziegler groups. TC stands for Theoretical Chemistry.
A growing group of approximately ten other academic research groups is contributing to new developments in ADF. Feel free to contact SCM in order to get in touch with one of those research groups.
