Dear Colleagues,
It is a great pleasure to announce that the Rencontre Scientifique 
"Computational chemistry for pollutant mitigation" 
is now open for registration. The event will take place at Rueil-Malmaison
(near Paris) on March 13 and 14, 2017.
 
Scientific context:
In times of increasing commitment to regulating pollutant emissions, 
the design of breakthrough cleanup technologies - either preventive or
curative - has become essential for the sustainability of the combustion 
processes for power generation and transportation.
Computational chemistry has made significant contributions to pollution
control, revealing the mechanisms involved in pollutant formation and 
determining the key corresponding molecular parameters. 
Still, many challenges remain, notably concerning the interaction of energy 
transfer using molecular modeling with an ever-growing set of reactions in 
multiphase self-organizing combustion and post-combustion environments.
Recognizing the increasing contribution of nanotechnologies to pollutant 
abatement, this event aims to bridge the gap between theoretical chemists 
and chemical engineers and bring together specialists in combustion and 
plasma chemistry, heterogeneous catalysis experts and atmospheric chemists 
at one event. 
This international conference also aims to promote discussion 
between participants from academic and industrial backgrounds, addressing 
applications as diverse as internal combustion engines, gas turbines, 
furnaces, thermal and catalytic after-treatment systems, and plasma 
depollution technologies.

This conference is open not only to computational chemists but also to 
experimentalists who devise advanced techniques capable of supporting and 
validating theoretical models.

The plenary lecture will be given by:
W.A. Goddard, Caltech, USA

Confirmed keynote speakers:
Annemie Bogaerts, University of Antwerp, Belgium 
Laurence Rouil, Ineris, France
William Schneider, University of Notre Dame, USA
Angela Violi, University of Michigan, USA
