 Dear Colleague,
 We are pleased to announce the
    11th International Conference on Theoretical Aspects of Catalysis
                               (ICTAC-11)
 to be held at the Teikyo University, German campus, in Schmöckwitz near
 Berlin (Germany) on June 11-14, 2006.
 The ICTAC-11 meeting will be organized jointly by Klaus Hermann (Theory
 Department, Fritz-Haber Institute, Berlin) and Joachim Sauer (Quantum
 Chemistry Group, Humboldt University, Berlin). It continues a worldwide
 series of meetings which are held biennially and address recent theoretical
 developments and applications of theoretical methods to problems of
 catalytic relevance with special focus on heterogeneous catalysis. While the
 subject attracts mostly researchers with theoretical background emphasis is
 also put on the interaction between theory and experiment. Therefore, a few
 invited lectures given by selected high-caliber experimentalists are always
 included in the program. The present list of keynote speakers includes
     -  A. Bell, University of California, Berkeley (USA)
     -  G. Ertl, Fritz-Haber Institute, Berlin (Germany)
     -  G. Kresse, University of Vienna, Wien (Austria)
     -  U. Landman, Georgia Tech, Atlanta (USA)
     -  M. Mavrikakis, University of Wisconsin, Madison (USA)
     -  Y. Morikawa, Osaka University, Osaka (Japan)
     -  J. Norskov, CAMP Technical University of Denmark, Lyngby (Denmark)
     -  P. Saalfrank, University of Potsdam, Potsdam (Germany)
     -  M. Scheffler, Fritz-Haber Institute, Berlin (Germany)
     -  R. Schlögl, Fritz-Haber Institute, Berlin (Germany)
     -  B. Smit, University of Amsterdam, Amsterdam (The Netherlands)
     -  W. Thiel, MPI for Carbon Research, Muehlheim (Germany)
     -  P. Ugliengo, University of Torino, Torino (Italy)
     -  E. Wang, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing (China)
     -  T. Ziegler, University of Calgary, Calgary (Canada)
 There will also be about 12 invited talks of younger outstanding scientists
 (to be announced).
 The meeting can accommodate up to 100 participants who are welcome to submit
 abstracts for poster or oral presentations (20 mins). The number of oral
 presentations is limited and decisions of acceptance will be made based on
 quality and suitability.
