EXCITED STATES IN MOLECULES AND SOLIDS
                Iterplay between Experiment and Theory
                                ESME99

                21-24 October 1999. Tarragona (Spain)

Please excuse us if you receive this message from several sources.

                        FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT 

The possibilities to perform theoretical studies of excited states in
molecular systems have undergone a revolutionary development during the last
ten years. New methods have been developed and have been used in a large
variety of applications. As a result today it is possible to perform
accurate quantum chemical studies of the properties of excited states for a
large variety of molecular systems ranging from organic molecules to
transition metal complexes and biochemical systems. This development has
created substantial interaction between theoretical chemists and
experimental groups in electronic spectroscopy and photochemistry.

The aim of this conference is to bring together researchers from both
experimental and theoretical fields and both from academia and industry.
This will permit the exchange of information about the new developments 
in the field of excited states and their possibilities in different areas 
of electronic spectroscopy and photochemistry. The conference will cover 
the following topics:

   * New theoretical methods for the study of excited states
   * Spectroscopy amd magnetic properties in coordination chemistry
   * Spectroscopy amd magnetic properties of solids
   * Mechanisms of photochemical reactions
   * Spectroscopy and photochemistry in bio-organic molecules

Contributions by invited speakers will cover all these aspects. In addition
posters sessions will be organized and all participants are encouraged to
contribute. The total number of participants will be limited to about 100.

The conference will take place in the Hotel Imperial Tarraco, beautifully
located at the seaside in the city of Tarragona, Spain, and surrounded by
well preserved historical buildings from the time when Tarraco was one of
the most important cities in the Roman Empire.
