INSPIRED BY HERZBERG:
SPECTROSCOPY FOR THE YEAR 2000
NAV Canada Conference Centre, Cornwall, Ontario, Canada
30 October - 3 November 1999
The Molecular Spectroscopy group of the Steacie Institute of Molecular
Sciences, National Research Council of Canada, is planning the above
Symposium in Memory of Gerhard Herzberg, Nobel laureate in Chemistry,
1971, who passed away on 3 March 1999.
The general emphasis of the symposium will be on topics that were of
particular interest to GH himself. There will be sessions of invited
talks on Ions and Radicals, Rydberg States, Astrophysics, van der
Waals Molecules, and Metal Compounds, as well as general topics in
Theory and in Techniques.
At this stage the following have agreed to speak:
T. Amano
A. Carrington
G. W. F. Drake
R. W. Field
J. W. Hepburn
E. Herbst
B. J. Howard
W. Klemperer
H. W. Kroto
A. M. Lyyra
A. R. W. McKellar
F. Merkt
M. D. Morse
T. Oka
B. Simard
B. P. Stoicheff
J. Tennyson
P. Thaddeus
L. M. Ziurys
Apart from the plenary sessions, there will be at least two poster
sessions and a banquet.
Cornwall, Ontario, is a small city on the St. Lawrence river, about
1.5 hour's drive from Ottawa or Montreal. Shuttle buses will be
arranged to meet passengers at Ottawa and Montreal Airports.
The symposium will start with dinner and a reception on the
evening of Saturday, 30 October, and end in the mid-afternoon
of Wednesday, 3 November.
The registration fee will be $300 Cdn and full board and lodging
at the Conference Centre will be $404 Cdn + 12% taxes. (Non-residents
should enquire about refundability of the taxes.)
The following weekend there is the annual Chemical Physics meeting
in Waterloo, Ontario. Details of that meeting are posted at
http://theochem.uwaterloo.ca/watscp.html
For a preliminary estimate of numbers, we would greatly appreciate it
if those interested in attending could send an e-mail with subject
"GH symposium" to [log in to unmask]
Participants should also indicate if they plan to continue to the
Waterloo meeting, because it may be possible to arrange an extra
night's accommodation at NAV Canada for a limited number of people.
