Dear colleagues,

This is to announce a symposium named "Universal Applications of Molecular
Modeling". The meeting will take place in Marseilles, France (7-10 June, 1999). 

The program outline, further details, and pre-registration forms are
available on the conference Web site:

              http://www.uamm.fst.u-3mrs.fr

The aim of this meeting is to gather scientists from various domains, such
as polymer science, reactivity, catalysis, biology and many more in order to
demonstrate that applications of molecular modelling are universal, from
chemistry to biology. 

All these disciplines share the classical tools involved in molecular
modelling (quantum chemistry, molecular dynamics, QSAR/QSPR). The meeting
will also cover new methods and, more importantly, novel strategies in
research. The official language of the meeting will be English. 

A specific session will be reserved to young scientists. This is to give the
opportunity to young scientists to present their work to an experienced
audience in an international meeting. An award will be attributed to the
most interesting lecture(s), which will be published in an international
molecular modelling journal. 

Applicants should propose a summary of their contribution to the Scientific
Committee (see details below) before March 15, 1999.
