The Third Informal Conference on Reaction Kinetics and Atmospheric Chemistry

June 7 to 9, 2002
Helsingør, Denmark

List of Invited Speakers (Preliminary):

·      Prof. Marcus Alden, Department of Combustion Physics, University of Lund, Sweden
·      Prof. Urs Baltensperger, Laboratory of Atmospheric Chemistry, Paul Scherrer Institute, Switzerland
·      Prof. David W. T. Griffith, Department of Chemistry, University of Wollongong, Australia
·      Prof. C. A. de Lange, Laboratory for Physical Chemistry, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands
·      Dr. Stanley P. Sander, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California, USA
·      Dr. Tom Slanger, SRI International, Menlo Park, California, USA
·      Dr. Tim Wallington, Ford Research Laboratories, Dearborn Michigan, USA
·      Prof. Paul Wine, School of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta Georgia, USA

The conference program includes the areas of atmospheric chemistry, theoretical and experimental reaction kinetics, gas-phase, heterogeneous and aqueous reactions, spectroscopy and combustion. The goal of the Informal Conference is to promote the study of chemical kinetics in the geographical region including Scandinavia, the Baltic states and Northwest Russia. We encourage student participation-- prizes will be awarded for the best student poster and oral presentations. The conference center is well known for its fine art, superb view of the Øresund and Swedish coast, and recreational facilities.

Abstracts of oral and poster presentations will be published as a book of proceedings available at the conference.   The registration fee is 2500 Danish Crowns and covers food, lodging and conference proceedings, and will be collected during check-in at the conference site. To cover unavoidable expenses, a 500 crown fee will be charged for cancellations after May 15.

Financial assistance for travel and conference registration fees is available for those who are traveling from a network partner laboratory.  With rare exceptions, we are not able to  provide assistance to applicants from outside the network.

To pre-register, please send your name, address, affiliation, phone, fax and e-mail information to [log in to unmask] by January 31, 2002.
