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!NOTE THAT E-MAIL ADDRESSES HAVE BEEN MODIFIED!!!
