Subject: 06.07.26 5th MERCURY CONFERENCE IN COMPUTATIONAL CHEMISTRY, Hamilton College, Clinton, NY
MERCURY CONFERENCE ON
UNDERGRADUATE COMPUTATIONAL CHEMISTRY
HAMILTON COLLEGE
CLINTON, NY
http://mars.chem.hamilton.edu/conference/current/index.html
The annual MERCURY Conference on Computational Chemistry is the first
national event devoted solely to undergraduate computational chemistry.
Our Fifth conference will be held at Hamilton College from
July 26-28, 2006.
We are pleased to announce the fifth national conference devoted solely
to undergraduates who are working on research projects in computational
chemistry, to be held at Hamilton College in Clinton, NY, from
July 26 - 28. This conference is a great opportunity for undergraduates
to learn about the breadth of research in computational chemistry,
particularly in interdisciplinary topics, and to discuss their work
with other undergraduate computational chemists as well as some leaders
in the field. For faculty, this conference will be an opportunity to
generate a network of computational chemists who work with
undergraduates, fostering collaboration and developing a sense of
community in the field.
The talks will be split between Thursday and Friday, with undergraduate
poster sessions taking place on one or both days.
Registration is $200 per faculty member, $100 per faculty guest, and
$100 per undergraduate, and includes:
* Two nights accommodation in college housing;
* All meals, including a barbecue dinner on Wednesday, July 26;
* A social activity on Thursday and Friday nights.
Costs for the conference are being kept low due to generous financial
assistance from Hamilton College and SGI.
Registration materials are due by July 5th, and the deadline for poster
abstract submission is July 12th.
Undergraduates are strongly encouraged to submit posters.
This conference is the fifth organized by the MERCURY high performance
computer center (Molecular Educational Research Consortium in
Undergraduate computational chemistRY), a consortium created by multiple
undergraduate institutions with additional funding from NSF. One of the
aims of our consortium is to increase the visibility of faculty working
at predominantly undergraduate institutions with undergraduates. We look
forward to seeing you and your students at Hamilton in the summer!
