Dear Colleagues, Happy New Year to you! The 85th Canadian Society for Chemistry (CSC) Conference & Exhibition will take place on UBC campus in Vancouver from June 1 to 5, 2002. During this event, there will be a 2.5-day computational chemistry symposium, mainly on density-functional theory (DFT). Tentatively, the first two days (June 2-3) will be devoted to DFT and the last half day (June 5) will be allocated for other topics. Conference participants can use the remaining days to attend other sessions, including the Brion Symposium on June 4-5. Canadian contributions will be given preference for oral presentations. Invited and contributing speakers will have about 40 and 20 minutes each (including Q&A and discussions), respectively. Other contributions may be presented as posters or in the General Session for Physical and Theoretical Chemistry. ======================================= Speakers of Invited & Contributed Talks ======================================= Axel D.
