Dear colleagues,
Online registration and poster abstract submission is now open for
FARADAY DISCUSSION 150: FRONTIERS IN SPECTROSCOPY
April 6-8, 2011, University of Basel, Basel, Switzerland
www.rsc.org/fd150
FD150 will provide a forum to discuss cutting-edge developments and future challenges in molecular spectroscopy. The topics addressed at the meeting include biomolecules in the gas and condensed phases, precision spectroscopy, studies of molecular dynamics in the time and frequency domain, theoretical spectroscopy and electronic structure methods.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with the format of Faraday Discussions, a few words of explanation. All papers are printed in advance and sent out to the conference delegates before the meeting. At the conference, it is assumed that the papers have been read and every author only presents a short summary. The rest of the time is devoted to discussion in the general area of the papers, so every participant has the opportunity to speak. Participants can also prepare short presentations which are given spontaneously at the meeting to comment on topics raised by the presented papers. The papers, contributed short presentations and the entire discussion are logged and appear as a Faraday Discussion volume in the literature. Faraday Discussions have proved to be a unique, very worthwhile format and have often shaped fields in the past.
