Dear colleagues,

I hope that you will participate in the upcoming
10th Electronic Computational Chemistry Conference
at http://eccc.monmouth.edu. We have extended the
deadline for contributions to Tuesday, February 1
in order to encourage the greatest possible participation.

We are pleased to announce that for the first time,
ECCC10 will feature an award program. The
award program is primarily intended for
scientists in the early stages of their careers,
including graduate and undergraduate students,
postdoctoral fellows, and investigators who are
in the first few years of a long-term appointment.
We also want to especially encourage contributions
> from scientists who are working in developing countries.

There will be at least two awards given in
recognition of the most Outstanding
Scientific Presentation. In addition,
one award will be given to the authors
of the Best Multimedia Presentation.
This presentation will be the one which best
reflects the online nature of the ECCC conference
and makes the most effective use of multimedia
to enhance the presentation of the scientific content.
The recipients of these awards will be decided
by the Scientific Organizing Committee.

Two well-known software companies, Parallel Quantum Solutions
(http://www.pqs-chem.com) and Schrodinger (http://www.schrodinger.com)
have generously provided prizes to the ECCC10 Award winners. PQS plans
to provide their PQS quantum chemistry software and a perpetual license
on the same hardware. Schrodinger plans to provide a
one-year license for a selection of three computing modules plus the
Maestro GUI (please note that some contributors may possibly not be
eligible for software prizes if there are governmental restrictions
beyond our control). We are extremely grateful to PQS and Schrodinger
for their generous sponsorship of the ECCC and their
support to the international computational chemistry community.

For the SOC,
Robert Topper
