Our friend and colleague Peter Knowles will turn 60 in March 2020.

Peter is perhaps best known for his work on full configuration interaction, multi-reference methods, and coupled cluster theory; and is also very well-known through his decades of work on the Molpro quantum chemistry package. We plan to honour Peter’s outstanding contributions to theoretical chemistry with a two-day meeting in Cardiff.

The meeting will take place at Cardiff University, Cardiff, UK on Monday and Tuesday 6th and 7th April 2020. We have an exciting line-up of 23 invited speakers (https://electroncorrelation.com/invited-speakers/), promising a stimulating two days of world-class science. Although the formal programme will start on Monday, there will be a reception on the 5th April for anyone who plans to travel to Cardiff on Sunday. We will hold a conference dinner in honour of Peter on Tuesday evening.

The conference fee is £145 and includes the Welcome Reception, coffee breaks, lunch on both days, food and drinks at a poster session on Monday night, and the conference dinner. We additionally have funding available on a "first-come, first-served" basis that provides reduced price registration for a limited number of PhD students. Further details are available on the conference website: https://electroncorrelation.com/

We look forward to welcoming you to Cardiff.
