CCL: 2013 TDDFT Gordon Research Conference

 Sent to CCL by: "Neepa  Maitra" [nmaitra++hunter.cuny.edu]
 Dear Colleagues,
 The 2013 Gordon Research Conference (GRC) and Seminar (GRS) on Time-Dependent
 Density Functional Theory (TDDFT) are open for applications! Please see:
 GRC:  August 11-16, 2013, University of New England, Maine, USA
 http://www.grc.org/programs.aspx?year=2013&program=tddft
 GRS:  August 10-11, 2013

 The TDDFT Gordon Research Conference (GRC) will be held at the University of New
 England, Biddeford, Maine, from August 11-16, 2013.
 The GRC has become one of the most important and exciting meetings in TDDFT over
 recent years. The most recent advances in the theory and its applications, from
 electronic spectra and response to fully time-dependent dynamics, the most
 pressing challenges, as well as new directions for development and applications
 will be discussed. We have an outstanding group of invited speakers and
 discussion leaders. For the preliminary program, other meeting details,
 including registration/application information, please see:
          http://www.grc.org/programs.aspx?year=2013&program=tddft
 For the first time, we are holding a Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) during the
 weekend immediately prior to the conference, August 10-11, 2013, which we are
 also very enthusiastic about! The GRS is a unique forum for graduate students,
 post-docs, and other scientists with comparable levels of experience and
 education  to present and exchange novel results and cutting edge ideas. The
 focus is on fundamental aspects of TDDFT, excitations and dynamics in the linear
 and  non-linear regime, and coupled electron-ion dynamics from first principles.
 We invite young researchers engaged in TDDFT and related fields to submit an
 abstract; please visit
        http://www.grc.org/programs.aspx?year=2013&program=grs_tddft
 for more details and the application/registration information.
 The conference site is a beautiful small campus on the seashore, only 20 miles
 from Portland International Jetport (PWM) and 98 miles from Boston Logan Airport
 (BOS). Bus service from Boston Logan Airport to the conference site and back
 will be provided.
 The guiding principle of a Gordon Conference is the presentation of new,
 unpublished work and the free, unhampered discussion that follows. The friendly,
 open, and lively atmosphere that has prevailed in our previous conferences will
 foster constructive scientific exchanges throughout the week, and during the
 Gordon Seminar, both in the discussions following talks, poster sessions, and
 more informally.
 We encourage you to visit the website and apply for what is shaping up to be a
 most exciting conference and seminar:
