Subject: 06.05.15 Molecular Interactions - Bringing Chemistry to Life, Bozen, Italy
Molecular Interactions - Bringing Chemistry to Life May 15th - 19th, 2006, Bozen, Italy http://www.beilstein-institut.de/events The Beilstein workshops address contemporary issues in the chemical and related sciences by employing an interdisciplinary approach. Scientists from a wide range of areas often outside chemistry are invited to present aspects of their work for discussion with the aim of not only to advance science, but also, to enhance interdisciplinary communication. The workshop will take place in the historic Hotel Schloss Korb. The setting and the limited number of participants (ca. 50-60), provide a very convivial atmosphere for the ready exchange of thoughts and ideas. Please find further general information, the scientific program, the first circular and the registration form on our web site: http://www.beilstein-institut.de/events Places at the workshop are limited and will be allocated on a first-come basis. Please feel free to pass on the information to colleagues whom you think would also be interested in attending. We would be delighted to see you in Bozen.
