Dear Colleague,

       it is with great pleasure that we announce the General Meeting / Réunion Générale of the GDR REST (REncontres de Spectroscopie Théorique/ Theoretical Spectroscopy meeting). The meeting will take place on the beautiful island of Porquerolles from Mai 22 to 25, 2018. For practical planning: the conference will start with diner on Monday, 21.05. 2018, and end with lunch on Friday, 25.05. 2018. The sessions will take place from Tuesday morning through Friday morning.

The meeting is intended to bring together the members of the GDR but also other scientists working in theoretical spectroscopy and related areas.

The meeting is open to all topics studied within the GDR. In particular, we are planning to highlight the following fields:

• The chemist's view on spectroscopy,
• Core spectroscopy,
• Real-time approaches and phenomena, and
• Relation with experiment.

We are looking forward to your contributions and welcome your participation. Looking forward to seeing you in Porquerolles,
