2007 Competition Symposium on "Emerging Technologies in Computational
Chemistry"
$1,000 prize to be awarded at the ACS national meeting, Boston, MA.
The Computers in Chemistry Division (COMP) of the ACS will hold the eighth
annual Symposium on Emerging Technologies in Computational Chemistry at the
American Chemical Society National Meeting, Boston, MA, August 19-23,
2007.
The objective of the symposium is to stimulate, reward, and publicize major
methodological advances in computational chemistry.
The talks will be evaluated by a Panel of Experts on the quality of the
presentation and the impact that the research will have on the future of
computational chemistry and allied sciences. The symposium is ideal for
presenting your latest and best research on new techniques, applications and
software development. Schrodinger, Inc. sponsors the $1,000 award for the
best talk at the symposium.
All are invited to participate. To enter the competition, you should submit
a regular short ACS abstract via http://oasys.acs.org/ prior to the OAsys
deadline. It is also necessary to email a long (~1,000-word) abstract to the
organizer. The presentations must be original, novel and concise. After
receipt, the long abstracts will be evaluated by experts to determine which
individuals will be selected to give oral presentations at the symposium.
Finalists will be notified well in advance of the meeting. Presentations
submitted through OAsys that cannot be part of the Emerging Technologies
Symposium will be rescheduled in another appropriate COMP session at the
Boston meeting.
Inquiries and applications should sent to:
Prof. Curt M. Breneman
Director, RECCR Center for Cheminformatics Research
Department of Chemistry
