Dear Colleague, After Sheffield in 2007, and Strasbourg in 2008, OpenEye will hold its 3rd Annual European Molecular Modeling Meeting in the World Heritage city of Toledo, Spain, on April 22-24, 2009. We anticipate the four EuroCUP III Main Sessions to cover: * Shape and Electrostatics * QSAR: Is it Worth it? * Fragment Design: Good Idea or the Latest Blind Alley? * Databases and Data Sources for Molecular Modeling There are speaking slots available and also poster exhibitions. ** NOTE THAT YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE A CUSTOMER OF OPENEYE SOFTWARE TO PARTICIPATE! ** So if you would like to contribute or attend please follow the link below. http://www.eyesopen.com/forms/eurocup3_reg.html We are delighted that Professor Dr. Juergen Bajorath has agreed to give the Allocution entitled: "The role of journals in computational chemistry". In addition to the Main Sessions, we will hold a half-day Toolkit Session, where OpenEye toolkit users will have the opportunity to share some of their work. An OpenEye Training Workshop on Python/OEChem will also be available on April 21st for those interested in programming (limited to 10 trainees!). As always, except for the training, there is no registration cost for the meeting. Attendees need only cover travel and accommodation. We very much hope you will be able to join us in Toledo!
