The 2nd international conference on Quantum Bioinorganic Chemistry is
now open for registration.
QBIC-2, will take place Saturday July 27 (10.00) to Monday July 29,
2002 (~16.00). The conference will be held at Orenas castle, at the
coast of Oresund, 40 km northwest of Lund in Sweden. .

The scientific program will cover the use of quantum chemical methods
to study problems of interest in biological inorganic chemistry. It
will be a small and informal meeting with a maximum of 70
participants. The scientific program will consist of 19 lectures and
a poster exhibition during the whole meeting.
