Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to join us for a forward-looking conference sponsored by The Journal of Chemical Physics and AIP Publishing Horizons, designed to facilitate conversation between innovative researchers at the forefront of chemical physics.

Future of Chemical Physics

August 31 - September 2, 2016, University of Oxford, Oxford, UK

Participants will have the opportunity to present their work in poster sessions, for which several poster prizes will be awarded. If you are an up-and-coming researcher with exciting results to report, come present your work and be a part of the future of chemical physics!

Submit your abstract today to present a poster!

The invited speakers are accomplished and promising researchers in many areas of modern chemical physics who will give an overview of some of the most exciting areas of research and help define the future of our field. The conference will be diverse and small to encourage opportunities for informal discussion.
