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 unpublished work and the free, unhampered discussion that follows.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:
