The Seventeenth Colloquium on High Resolution
Molecular Spectroscopy Nijmegen 2001,
National sports center Papendal (near Arnhem),
The Netherlands,
Sunday September 9 - Thursday September 13, 2001
SCIENTIFIC PROGRAM
There will be 16 invited lectures. Contributions, which will be
presented as posters, are invited in the fields of:
* High resolution rotational, vibrational, or electronic spectroscopy of
molecules (radicals, ions, complexes, clusters, ...)
* Theory assisting the prediction, simulation, and interpretation of
such spectra
* Molecular dynamics
* Novel techniques for high-resolution spectroscopy
* Applications to atmospheric sciences, astrophysics, planetology,
combustion, etc.
The complete program is available on our web-page.
ABSTRACTS
We have chosen the LaTeX typesetting system in order to ensure a unified
presentation for the NIJMEGEN 2001 book of abstracts. The ELECTRONIC
ABSTRACT SUBMISSION (EAS) program used here, is a modified version of
the software created by Prof. T. A. Miller and Dr. S. Panov for the
OSU International Symposium on Molecular Spectroscopy. We provide all
the necessary information to let you submit your abstract(s) for
NIJMEGEN 2001. Please read carefully the instructions on the EAS web
page. Electronic abstract submission is a very simple process. You
will only need to write a simple text (ASCII) file formatted in the
correct way. Note that there is no need for you to install LaTeX on
your computer. We also provide a test facility (see the EAS
instructions) so that you can test the LaTeX compilation of your
abstract and see the result online.
To submit your abstract go to our Electronic Abstract Submission page

organization will be in the hands of the "Department of Molecular and
Laser Physics", University of Nijmegen.
Please note that the meeting starts on a Sunday and ends on a Thursday.
You can conveniently make use of low-priced airline tickets and spend a
Saturday night in Arnhem or at one of the sports facilities of Papendal.
Papendal can easily be reached both by public transport as well as by
car.

and a shared living room. Showers and toilet in the hall.
* More luxurious double rooms with shower and toilet facilities.
(Standard Double room)

Early reservations are recommended.
Participants who prefer to stay in a hotel outside the Papendal Sports
