Invitation

In January 2007, the DIVISION OF THEORETICAL CHEMISTRY of the Swedish Chemcial Society was formed. Time has now come for our first Annual Meeting, to be held at Örebro University, September 21-22 2007. The Symposium will contain a mix of lectures, invited speakers and poster session. Part of the Division's work is to strengthen the connection between the theoretical chemistry communities of the Nordic countries, which is reflected in the list of invited speakers of the Symposium. In addition, the Norblad-Ekstrand Medal of the Swedish Chemical Society will be presented to Prof. Roland Kjellander.

Theoretical chemistry is by the Division defined in the widest possible sense, containing quantum chemistry, molecular physics, formalistic development, molecular simulations & modelling, computational materials science, computer-aided drug design, nano/bio technology, bioinformatics, cellular modelling, and related.

We hereby invite participants from Academia, Industry and Education, with activities or interest in theoretical chemistry to parttake in the Symposium.
