Dear Colleagues,
The Atomic and Molecular Physics group of the University of Trento is pleased to
announce the XVI MOLEC meeting, to be held in Levico Terme (TN) Italy, from
11th to 15th September 2006. The series of biennial MOLEC Meetings started in
1976, when the first Conference was held in Trento. To celebrate its 30th
birthday the XVI MOLEC 2006 meeting will go back to its native location with
the aim of highlighting the most recent advances in molecular dynamics and
associated fields.
The European Conference on Dynamics of Molecular Systems focuses on the
different aspects of atomic and molecular interactions, with emphasis on both
experimental and theoretical studies of the dynamics of elastic, inelastic and
reactive encounters between atoms, molecules, ions, clusters and surfaces. The
Meeting deals in particular with:
• Molecular collisions in different environments (plasmas,
atmospheric/interstellar/combustion processes, biologically relevant systems,
etc.)
• Ab-initio molecular dynamics
• Photon-matter interactions: spectroscopy, photodissociation and photo-induced
reactions.
• Ultra-cold collisions
• Steric effects in reactive processes
The Conference format will include invited lectures, oral contributions (Hot
Topics) and poster sessions. The time schedule will allow ample time for
informal discussions and effective exchange among participants in the beautiful
landscape of the Levico lake, surrounded by the Trentino mountains. The
participation of young researchers and students is particularly welcome and the
Conference Scheme will provide the opportunity for them to discuss their
achievements in an international environment at the forefront of physical
chemistry.
Preliminary list of speakers:
Nadia Balucani - University of Perugia, Italy
Lorenz S. Cederbaum - University of Heidelberg, Germany
James M. Farrar - University of Rochester, USA
Philippe Maître - CNRS-University of Paris-Sud, France
Kenneth G. McKendrick - Heriot-Watt University, UK
Gunnar Nyman - University of Göteborg, Sweden
Alkwin Slenczka - University of Regensburg, Germany
Henrik Stapelfeldt - University of Aarhus, Denmark
Roland Thissen - University of Paris-Sud, France
Pablo Villarreal Herran - CSIC-Madrid, Spain
Eckart Wrede - University of Durham, UK
FEES and REGISTRATION:
The registration fee is 200 € for a regular participant and 100 € for students.
The fee covers the running costs of the Conference but NOT the accommodation
expenses which amount to 500€ (double room) or 570€ (single room). The deadline
for registration and payment is May 17th 2006.
For a limited number of students a reduced accommodation fee (250 €) is
available. Students wishing to apply should send a presentation letter (by
e-mail to [log in to unmask]) from their supervisor to the Local
Organizing Committee that will select successful candidates.
Further information can be found on the conference web site

which we will keep updated with the most recent news. More details will be given
in the next announcement.
Best regards
