celebrating the career of Professor Ian W.M. Smith F.R.S.
School of Chemical Sciences, The University of Birmingham
September 16-18, 2002
SECOND ANNOUNCEMENT - REGISTRATION OPEN - DEADLINE MONDAY 19 AUGUST
2002
Full details of accommodation and registration fees, along with online

Professor Ian WM Smith FRS will be retiring, officially, at the end of
the current academic year. A major scientific meeting is being held in
his honour from September 16-18, 2002 in the School of Chemical
Sciences of The University of Birmingham, where Ian has been Professor
of Physical Chemistry since 1985, and Mason Professor of Chemistry
since 1991.
The meeting is designed to reflect Ian's research interests, and will
take the form, principally, of lectures delivered by the following 17
invited speakers, chosen from among Ian's collaborators, colleagues
and past group members.
Professor Millard Alexander, University of Maryland, USA
Professor David Clary, University College, London, UK
Professor Fleming Crim, University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA
Professor David Field, University of Aarhus, Denmark
Dr Mike Frost, Heriot-Watt University, UK
Professor Gus Hancock, University of Oxford, UK
Professor Eric Herbst, Ohio State University, USA
Professor William Miller, University of California-Berkeley, USA
Professor C. Bradley Moore, Ohio State University, USA
Professor Mike Pilling, University of Leeds, UK
Professor John Polanyi, University of Toronto, USA
Dr A. R. Ravishankara, National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration,
USA
Dr Bertrand Rowe, Université de Rennes 1, France
Dr Ian Sims, University of Birmingham, UK
Professor Dr Jürgen Troe, University of Göttingen, Germany
Professor Curt Wittig, University of Southern California, USA
Professor Dr Reinhard Zellner, University of Essen, Germany
Sessions will cover the following areas:
- Reaction Dynamics and Energy Transfer
- Theoretical Chemical Dynamics and Kinetics
- Gas Kinetics and Atmospheric Chemistry
- Astrochemistry
There will also be opportunity for contributions in the form of a
poster session, and of course there will be a special conference
banquet in Ian's honour.
We very much hope that you will want to attend what promises to be an
exciting time, not only looking back over a career at the forefront of
science, but also looking forward as we hear about the very latest
research in this area.
Substantial interest has already been expressed, and so we recommend
early registration and payment to avoid disappointment. The cost of
the meeting is very reasonable, owing to substantial sponsorship from
a wide range of organisations. Full registration, covering all meals
and accommodation from lunch on Monday 16 September to lunch on
Wednesday 18 September, including the conference banquet, is only £175
for non-students, and £100 for students. Student bursaries will be
available to lower these costs still further for PhD students and
recent postdocs. Full details of charges with residential and
non-residential options are available on the conference website.
