With this special issue of the European Physical Jour- nal B we pay homage to the scientific career of Eberhard Kurt Ulrich (Hardy) Gross (see Fig. 1), on occasion of his 65th birthday. Hardy is one of the most influential researchers in the field of theoretical density functional theory (DFT). His significant contributions started early, already as a student of Reiner Dreizler in Frankfurt and as a post-doc with the Nobel prize laureate Walter Kohn. In those years, Hardy Gross contributed to the birth of time- dependent density functional theory (TDDFT), DFT for superconductors, ensemble DFT, etc. Later, he was inter- ested in other topics of electronic structure theory.
