Dear Colleagues,

with pleasure I would like to announce the 54th Symposium on Theoretical Chemistry which will take place in Halle (Germany) from 17.-20. September 2018. The conference website is https://stc2018.de.

This year, the theme of the Symposium is "Non-Covalent Interactions", but as always, the meeting will also cover theoretical chemistry aspects beyond this theme. We have arranged for an ensemble of invited speakers, but our explicit intention is to offer a forum for younger scientists to present their work in the form of contributed talks. Presently, we are planning for 11 invited and about 30 contributed presentations, in addition to two poster sessions and both the Hellmann and Hückel award lectures. The invited speakers are listed on the conference website.

Both the abstract submission and the conference registration are already open. The logistics of the conference organization (registration, conference fee and abstracts) is done via the GDCh conference service, which can be reached through the conference website.

The submission deadline is 14.6.2018 for contributed talks and 31.07.2018 for posters.

The STC organization team is looking forward to receiving you here in Halle!

Greetings

Daniel Sebastiani
