Molecular modelling and simulation techniques have an important role to play in these developments by helping to provide a more focussed, molecular-level understanding of chemical products and processes, which in turn can help to guide future experimental work. This meeting, organised by the Molecular Graphics and Modelling Society and the University of Amsterdam, will bring together theoreticians and experimentalists from a variety of relevant fields to discuss molecular modelling approaches in chemicals and materials research, and is expected to be of value to scientists in industry and academe alike. Topics covered by the meeting will include: - Catalysis and Surfaces - Fluids and Interfaces - Polymers Speakers will include: Prof. E.J. Baerends (Amsterdam), Prof. J.H.R. Clarke (UMIST), Dr. J. Gale (London), Prof. W.A. Goddard (Caltech), Dr. F. Muller-Plathe (ETH, Zurich), Prof. K. Roberts (Strathclyde), Prof. R. Van Santen (Eindhoven), Dr. B. Smit (Shell) and Prof. D. Tildesley (Imperial, London) Organising Committee : Dr. M.A. King (Shell) Chairman; Dr. E.A. Colbourn (Oxford Materials Ltd.); Dr. M.G.B. Drew (University of Reading); Dr. A.M. Brouwer (University of Amsterdam) Local Organiser; Dr. R. Peschar (University of Amsterdam) Local Organiser Program The program will consist of invited lectures and oral presentations. On both days there will be a session of ca. three hours which will include buffet lunch, poster session and a commercial exhibition, all in the same location. Abstracts (one page A4, ready for reproduction) of contributed talks or posters should be sent to Dr. A.M. Brouwer at the address below. If you wish to present your work orally please ensure that your abstract is in our possession before July 1, and please add a brief description of your position and scientific career. The selection of oral presentations will be made before July 30. The committee will favour contributions from younger scientists. Registration The conference fee is DFl. 300 for regular participants, DFl. 175 for students. For registration after July 1 the fee is increased by DFl 50. To qualify for the reduced rate students must include a letter from their research supervisor. A limited number of student bursaries will be available. The registration fee includes a book of abstracts, lunches, coffee and tea during breaks, and an informal dinner on monday evening. Registration and hotel reservation forms are available at the: Conference WWW page: Http://krop.chem.uva.nl/mgms/ or will be sent upon request at the (E-mail) adress below.

We are continuing to offer three-day intensive Computational Chemistry Workshops to our chemistry community. Due to the popular demand on June workshop, I have scheduled a second workshop in June (June 26-28), in addition to the one in June 12-14. Drop me a line at workshop@wavefun.com for a complete brochure. Meanwhile, happy computing! --Wayne Attachment is the information on the workshop and course materials. The complete brochure can be sent via fax/mail upon request. ====================================================================== ------------------------------------ | COMPUTATIONAL CHEMISTRY WORKSHOP | ------------------------------------ Intensive 3-day workshops focus on application of modern electronic structure methods to chemistry. Lectures will describe underlying theory, assess performance of modern electronic structure methods, outline practical strategies for doing calculations, and illustrate results of applications to diverse chemical problems. Laboratories provide hands-on experience using a wide selection experiments, as well as ample time to explore your own chemistry. Visualization and animation will also be presented for both educational demonstration and research presentation.
