       The School
 This Summer School is aimed mainly to young graduate Quantum Chemists and
 Physicists engaged in research work at the predoctoral or recent postdoctoral
 level. The School is the continuation of the Charles Coulson Summer Schools
 in Quantum Chemistry (held in Oxford until 1992) but with more emphasis this
 time on Density Functional Theory and the applications to Microclusters and
 Surfaces. Each course will be supported by a series of problem classes in
 which problems will be solved with the help provided by the staff. The written
 notes of the lectures will be given to the participants at the begining of the
 School.
 There will be an opportunity for participants to give a short talk about
 their current research topic.
 Participants will be accommodated at   Hotel El Ancla , ten minutes walk
 from the Cultural Centre   Doctor Velasco  where lectures will take place and
 where several seminar rooms are also available. An excursion to  Santillana del
 Mar and Puente Viesgo (prehistorical caves) is included in the program.
       The site
  In the north of Spain, on the shores of the Cantabrian sea, 50 Km from
 Santander, one finds the small fishing town of LAREDO. An old town with historic
 and artistic links, Laredo is also an important tourist centre with a modern
 residential area, a beautiful fishing port, a sailing club, and of course, its
 Salve beach, noted for its large size and safety. In the bay of Laredo,
 windsurfing, sailing and other sports are practiced. During the last ten years,
 Laredo has also been the site of the Summer Courses of the University of
 Cantabria.
       Fees
 The total cost, including residence, board and fees is:
   Spanish Ptas. 90.000 (Double room), 150.000 (Single room).
  However, there are a number of bursaries, of up to Ptas. 20.000,  provided by
  the Spanish DGICYT and the STRIDE Program (CE).
        Applications
  Applications should reach the secretary address by
   31st MAY, 1994.
  At the same address we should be glad to provide further information.
       Related Meetings
 The Tenth European Conference on Dynamics of Molecular Collisions will be held
  at Salamanca (Spain), August, 28--September,2.
