ECCC9 Begins March 1

Dear colleagues,
 I hope that you all will register for, and participate in,
 ECCC9 - the 9th Electronic Computational Chemistry Conference -
 which begins on Saturday, March 1, 2003 and will take place entirely
 on the web at http://eccc9.cooper.edu/. Registration is free and
 the conference will take place entirely on the Internet using
 a web browser during the month of March 2003.
 We have ended up with a solid 41 papers in this year's conference,
 up from 36 in ECCC8. 21 different countries are represented by the
 authors, with contributions from Asia, Australia, Europe and North America.
 There is even more of a diversity of topics than last year as well, with
 abstracts touching on many different aspects of computational and theoretical
 chemistry and biology, bioinformatics, and chemical education.
 Last year 250 scientists participated in ECCC8.
 The proceedings will be published online in the International
 Journal of Molecular Sciences. We gratefully acknowledge the
 sponsorship of the ECCC9 proceedings by the OSI - SOROS Foundation
 and the MDPI Foundation. We would also like to thank Jan Labonowski for
 his continued direction of the Computational Chemistry List,
 without which the ECCC would not be able to continue to thrive.
 ECCC9 promises to be a particularly interesting meeting, and I
 am positive that you will find it worthwhile. Registration takes
 less than 5 minutes and it is free. After March 1, registration will be
 required in order to view the abstracts and presentations
 as well as to participate in online discussions. However, everyone
 may view the abstracts without registering until March 1.
 The schedule of  ECCC9 is as follows:
 March 1, 2003 - Conference begins
 March 17, 2003 - Interactive Session begins
 March 24, 2003 - Interactive Session ends
 April 1, 2003 - ECCC9 ends
 May 1, 2003 - Submissions to ECCC9 - IJMS Proceedings due
 Best regards to you all,
 Robert Topper, Principal Organizer, ECCC9
