First Congress of the ISTCP (part one)



           Announcement for the First Congress of the
     International Society for Theoretical Chemical Physics
                          (ISTCP)
      The first  Congress of the International  Society for Theoretical
 Chemical Physics  will be held during  the first week of  July 1993 at
 the  Mediterranean coast  in  Spain close  to the  city  of Girona,  a
 medieval spot in the northeastern part of Catalonia near to the French
 border. 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

      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.
