MOLECULAR MODELLING 2006 (MM2006) - FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT
PERTH, AUSTRALIA, 19-22 APRIL 2006

We are pleased to announce that Molecular Modelling 2006 (MM2006) will
be held in Perth, Australia next year. These series of meetings are held
every 18-24 months and aim to bring together the modelling community in
Australia, New Zealand, the Asia-Pacific region and other parts of the
world. The members of the organising committee are Ricardo Mancera
(chair), Julian Gale, Andrew Rohl, Mark Spackman and Sue Berners-Price.
The Conference Secretary is Kate Wright.

The meeting will be held from Wednesday 18 until Saturday 22 of April
2006 at Curtin University of Technology. This will be the first time
that this meeting is held in Perth, and we are thus keen to make this a
successful event that will attract a significant number of participants
to this 'side of the world'.

MM2006 will also aim to give equal weight to molecular modelling in the
life and physical sciences. In keeping with previous conference formats,
we will have a number of plenary speakers (mostly from overseas) as well
as invited and contributed presentations. We will also hold a poster
session.

MM2006 will also hopefully see the official launch of the Asia-Pacific
chapter of the Molecular Graphics and Modelling society as the 'home'
organisation of the modelling community in Australia.

The conference website has recently gone live, with some preliminary
information about the list of confirmed speakers. We will be populating
the website soon with further information on accommodation,
registration, abstracts, student bursaries, etc. Please point your

At this stage the organising committee would like to invite you to make
a note of these dates in your diaries. We would be delighted if you can
join us next year here in Perth and hopefully your postdocs and students
will also be able to attend. Please circulate this announcement to
others who might be interested in attending.

Registration will open in due course and we will keep you informed of
further developments.

We look forward to welcoming you to Perth next year!
