The Electronic Structure Project (ESP/ELSA)[1-3] is an initiative that dates back to 2001 [4,5] and today contain tens of thousands of materials that have been investigated using robust and high accuracy electronic structure methods (all-electron full-potential linear muffin-tin orbital approach, FP-LMTO). A short history of the project, the present capabilities of ESP/ELSA including some examples of successful studies using ESP as well as future developments and outlook will be presented.
