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:

Registration has started. 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 are looking forward to seeing you there!
