Registration and Abstract Submission are now open for TACC2016 , the conference on "Theory and 
Applications of Computational Chemistry",  to be held on the campus of the University of Washington 
in Seattle, USA, August 28 to September 2, 2016. 

Registration fees are: early-bird registration = $600 ; early-bird registration (student) = $450 ;
 normal registration = $700 ; normal registration (student) = $500. Early-bird registration will end

on the website.  Contributed oral presentations will be selected from among the abstracts submitted 
to the conference.

We would like to encourage you to forward this announcement to colleagues and students who
 might be interested in the conference.

TACC2016 will convene leading researchers in theoretical and computational chemistry and allied 
disciplines to present and discuss forefront research in the development and application of chemical
 theory and computation. A broad range of fundamental and applied topics in chemistry, biochemistry, 
and materials science will be covered, including a special focus on computational approaches that
 bridge the gap between atomistic simulations and mesoscale phenomena, and that exploit advanced 
computing and informatics technologies to push the frontiers of the field. The program will include 
keynote, plenary and parallel invited lectures, with contributed presentations selected from among
 the abstracts submitted to the conference. For more information on the conference, please consult
 the website at http://www.tacc2016.org .

TACC2016 will be the fourth conference in a quadrennial series of conferences that have been held 
in Gyeongju, Korea (2004), Shanghai, China (2008), and in Pavia, Italy (2012). The 2016 conference
