This symposium highlights advances in the development of first-principles theoretical approaches for characterizing chemistry in the gas phase and beyond. The coupling of high-level ab initio-based potential energy surfaces with increasingly detailed dynamical models is enabling theoretical predictions with unprecedented accuracy. The increased role of theory as an independent source of quantitative chemical and physical information, along with the approaching age of exascale computing, is anticipated to have a transformative effect throughout chemistry. Themed topical sessions are dedicated to potential energy surface development, dynamics, and kinetics methodologies, as well as demonstrations of the impact of a priori theories in combustion, atmospheric, and interstellar chemistry.
