CCL: Chemical Reacivity, Brussel, Brussels, Apr. 5-7, '06 - FINAL PROGRAM

 Sent to CCL by: "chemical reactivity" [chemreac(0)vub.ac.be]
 Dear Colleague,
 A Three Day International Symposium will be held on (Theoretical  Aspects of)
 f "Chemical Reactivity", at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Brussels,
 Belgium, from April 5 to 7, 2006.
 This Symposium is organized under the auspices of the Fund for Scientific
 Research Flanders and the International Solvay Institutes for Physics
 and Chemistry.
 The aim of the conference is to give the audience an impression of
 theoretical aspects of chemical reactivity, as it can now be studied
 starting from the electronic structure of atoms, molecules,... using a
 variety of quantum mechanical methodologies. Both more fundamental and
 applied aspects (wave function vs. DFT reactivity descriptors, dynamics,
 aromaticity, organic and inorganic reactions, biosystems, zeolites, ...)
 will be addressed. For this purpose 13 internationally renowned speakers
 will deliver invited talks (40 minutes each) on various
 approaches/applications. Contributed lectures will be given by selected
 number of foreign participants and representatives of a number of
 Belgian research groups. A poster session will give ample space and
 time for presentation of research results by all other participants.
 The invited speakers (all confirmed) are:
 P. W. Ayers (McMaster University Hamilton, Ontario, Canada)
 P. K. Chattaraj (Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, India)
 D. A. Dixon (The University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, USA)
 W. Domcke (Lehrstuhl für Theoretische Chemie, Garching, Germany)
 P. W. Fowler (University of Sheffield, Sheffield, UK)
 J. Hutter (Universität Zürich, Zürich, Switzerland)
 J.M.L. Martin (Weizmann Institute of Science, Rechovot, Israel)
 R. G. Parr (University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, USA)
 U. Röthlisberger (Ecole Polytechnique Federale, Lausanne,Switzerland)
 M. Solà (Universitat de Girona, Girona, Spain)
 M. Sprik (University of Cambridge, United Kingdom)
 R.A. van Santen (Eindhoven Technical University,The Netherlands )
 P. von Rague Schleyer ( University of Georgia, Athens, USA)
 The final program including the titles of all invited and contributed
 lectures is now available at the conference website
 http://www.vub.ac.be/chemicalreactivity/
 Moreover, some slots are still available for poster presentations so
 it is still possible to both register for the conference and submit
 an abstract for a poster presentation. The final deadline is March 10, 2006.
 Looking forward to meet you in Brussels,
 With very best regards,
