Dear Colleagues, We are pleased to announce and to invite you to attend the 17th Canadian Symposium on Theoretical Chemistry (CSTC) to be held in Edmonton, Alberta from July 25 to 30, 2010. Held every three years, the CSTC is an international meeting that brings together theoretical chemists from across Canada and around the world. Beginning with an opening reception on Sunday evening (July 25), the symposium consists of 40 min invited talks given Monday through Friday. Two poster sessions for contributed abstracts and a banquet held on Thursday evening complete the format. The current list of confirmed invited speakers is available below. The symposium is intended to cover the full scope of theoretical chemistry, including electronic structure methods, chemical dynamics, and statistical mechanics, with a particular focus on recent theoretical and methodological advances. Information regarding the symposium including accommodation, travel, a list of invited speakers, and the conference history, is posted on the conference website (www.cstc2010.ca). Information regarding registration and abstract submission will be available late 2009 or early in 2010. If you have any questions or require additional information, please do not hesitate to contact any member of the organizing committee. We look forward to seeing you in Edmonton next summer! Sincerely, The organizing committee of the 17th Canadian Theoretical Chemistry Conference: Alex Brown (Department of Chemistry, University of Alberta), alex.brown[a]ualberta.ca Mariusz Klobukowski (Department of Chemistry, University of Alberta), mariusz.klobukowski[a]ualberta.ca Pierre-Nicholas Roy (Department of Chemistry, University of Waterloo), pnroy[a]uwaterloo.ca Mark Thachuk (Department of Chemistry, University of British Columbia), thachuk[a]chem.ubc.ca www.cstc2010.ca Conference: 17th Canadian Symposium on Theoretical Chemistry Dates: July 25-30, 2010 Venue: The conference will be held at the Lister Hall Conference Center, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada List of Confirmed Invited speakers: Wesley Allen, University of Georgia Alan Aspuru-Guzik, Harvard University Regina de Vivie-Riedle, University of Munich Shekhar Garde, Renesselaer Polytechnic University Gabriel Hanna, University of Alberta John Herbert, Ohio State University Kimihiko Hirao, RIKEN Christiane Koch, Freie University, Berlin Roman Krems, University of British Columbia Oliver Kuhn, Universitat Rostock Guillaume Lamoureux, Concordia University Hans-Dieter Meyer, Universitat Heidelberg Hirotoshi Mori, Ochanomizu University Nick Mosey, Queen's University Hiroshi Nakatsuji, Quantum Chemistry Research Institute Irina Paci, University of Victoria Piotr Piecuch, Michigan State University George Schatz, Northwestern University Klaus Schulten, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Peter Schwerdtfeger, Massey University Jack Simons, University of Utah Viktor Staroverov, University of Western Ontario James Stewart, MOPAC Walter Thiel, Max-Planck-Institut fur Kohlenforschung Peter Tieleman, University of Calgary Tom Woo, University of Ottawa Koichi Yamashita, University of Tokyo To join or leave the molecular-dynamics-news email list, go to: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/molecular-dynamics-news.html
