(I hope that not all of you will come, since that would become a bit overcrowded.;-)) It will be a meeting of scientists from many areas of computational and experimental chemistry, ranging from chemical engineers, using COSMO-RS for predicting activity coefficients, environmental researchers, pharmaceutical modellers, fragrance and cosmetics experts, material and reaction simulation simulation people, and many more, all having in common, that accurate prediction of the solvent influence on the properties of their interest is crucial for their work. The meeting will combine presentations of applications by users, presentations of new improvements of the methods an extension of the applicability range, and discussions on future directions. As side events there will be introductions and training sessions for COSMO-RS newcomers. The meeting should be interesting for those who do - after more than 20 years after the COSMO-RS publication - still don't know the difference between COSMO and COSMO-RS, and for those, who like to see the current and future potential of this - currently most likely most predictive - solvation model. I will present there the COSMOplex method, an extension of COSMO-RS which allows for the efficient simulation of z-inhomogeneous self-organizing systems, as micelles, biomembranes, interfaces, liquid crystals, ..., requiring nothing else than COSMO files as input. It completely bypasses the need for force-fields or coarse-grained methods, is 100 times faster than MD simulations, and most likely more accurate.
