It is our pleasure to announce  the 50th Symposium on Theoretical Chemistry,
which will take place in Vienna, Austria from September 14-18, 2014.

This year meeting will feature 15 invited speakers, who will present talks
spanning from the development of methods in quantum chemistry, in dynamics,
or the combination of both, to applications, also for excited states and
light-induced processes. Additionally, 24 oral presentations from any field
of Theoretical Chemistry will be selected from submissions and posters. Two
poster sessions will allow you to interact with theorists from all fields of
Theoretical Chemistry. On September 17th, the Hellmann Prize will be awarded
to a young theoretical chemist.

We specially encourage young students and postdocs to attend the meeting.
Six poster prizes will be awarded to the best posters from young scientists
(<35 years).

     Hans-Joachim Werner (University of Stuttgart, Germany)

The 50th anniversary will be additionally celebrated with two historical
lectures. Wilfried Meyer (Kaiserslautern) will highlight the development of
Theoretical Chemistry in the last 50 years within the German speaking
countries and Klaus Ruedenberg (Iowa) will tell us about the history of
Chemistry starting 3000 years ago.

Important dates:
Registration is now open and closes on the 30th of May.
Abstract deadline for oral contributions: 15th June.
Abstract deadline for posters: 15th July.

The registration fee (250 EUR, reduced to 200 EUR for PhD students) includes
