A number of 300 participants is expected and we plan to have about 25 invited papers, 40 contributed papers, 5 round table discussions, and posters. All contributions are planned to be published, after review, in due time. The participation fee will be US$ 350 (US$ 250 for members of the Society). This includes admission to the above mentioned events. Workshops on Computational Chemistry, SCF Theory and Molecular Similarity are planned to be held before and after the Congress, respectively. The main topics covered by the conference will be new and recent developments on: - Mathematical Methods in Chemistry - Fractals - Feynman Path Integrals - Algebraic Methods - Computational Techniques - Vectorial and Parallel Algorithms - Integrals and Basis Sets - Direct SCF and MCSCF - Direct CI - Chemical Dynamics - Theory of Chemical Reactions (mostly on the basis of scattering theory) - Time Dependent Treatment - Recent Developments in Quantum Chemistry - Modern VB Theory - Density Matrix Methods - Electronic Correlation - High Order Perturbation Theory - Relativistic Quantum Chemistry - Beyond the Born-Oppenheimer Approximation - Treatment of the Time Dependent Schrodinger Equation - Molecular Properties - Theoretical Molecular Spectroscopy - Quantum Molecular Similarity - Molecular Mechanics and Dynamics - Non-linear Phenomena (Solitons etc.) - Theory of Solid State Chemistry - Clusters - Polymers - Surfaces and Interfaces - Chemisorption - Molecular Crystals - Statistical Mechanics in Chemical Problems - Fractals - Chaos Theory - Irreversible Statistical Mechanics far from Equilibrium - Monte Carlo Techniques - Theoretical Biology - Theory of Biological Evolution - Theory of a Large Number of Coupled Biochemical Reactions The Organizing Commitee has the following members : International Organizing Commitee Chairman: R.Carbo (Girona) Co-Chairman: J.Ladik (Erlangen) Members: G.Chalasinski (Warsaw), N.Chen (Shanghai), J.Cizek (Waterloo), E.Clementi (Cagliari), J.Delhalle (Namur), P.Durand (Toulouse), H.Fukutome (Kyoto), O.Goscinski (Uppsala), G.Govil (Bombay), A.Graovac (Zagreb), N.C.Handy (Cambridge), G.L.Hofacker (Garching), L.Jansen (Zurich), E.Kapuy (Szeged), W.Kolos (Warsaw), H.J.Kreutzer (Halifax), R.LeRoy (Waterloo), R.D.Levine (Jerusalem), J.Linderberg (Aarhus), N.H.March (Oxford), S.P.McGlynn (Baton Rouge), R.Moccia (Pisa), C.A.Nicolaides (Athens), E.E.Nikitin (Moscow), J.Paldus (Waterloo), S.Peyerimhoff (Bonn), J.Pipek (Budapest), D.I.Pushkarov (Sofia), M.Raimondi (Milano), P.Reinecker (Ulm), W.P.Reinhardt (Philadelphia), A.Saran (Bombay), P.Schuster (Vienna), I.Shavitt (Columbus), H.J.Silverstone (Baltimore), V.Spirko (Prague), B.T.Sutcliffe (York), I.Ukrainski (Kiev), M.Urban (Bratislava), A. van der Avoird (Nijmegen), T.P.Zivkovic (Zagreb). Executive Commitee R.Carbo, M.Duran (Girona) W.Forner (Erlangen) J.Karwowski (Torun) Local Auxiliary Members: E.Besalu, B.Calabuig, Ll.Molino, T.Martinez, J.Marti, J.Mestres, A.Hernandez, N.Clara. (Girona) J.J. Novoa. (Barcelona) Scientists working in the field of Theoretical Chemical Physics are warmly welcome to participate in and to contribute papers or posters to the meeting. Due to the well known world wide economic restrictions we encourage all participants to ask their own national institutions to cover their travel and living expenses. Detailed informations on the hotel prices will depend on the final number of participants and will be supplied later on (a rough estimate amounts to about a total of US$ 500, full board, for five days). A limited number of stipends will be hopefully available to cover partially the costs especially for younger participants.
