stimulating discussions, generate new ideas, and map out future directions
in the field of quantum theory of chemical reactions. The spirit and
organization of the Workshop will be enterely similar to those of the
previous meetings. The Workshop will be attended by most of the world
experts in the field of quantum theory of chemical reactions. No
conference fee will be required and full board accommodation expenses will
be paid by each of the atendees to the meeting.
