We would like to remind you that early-bird registration for the 10^th Congress of the International Society of Theoretical Chemical Physics closes on April 30 2019. This will also be the final day for reserving hotel rooms at reduced rates at our collaborating hotels. Registration at a somewhat higher price will still be possible until June 16.

Please visit the conference web pages at http://istcp-2019.org for more information, registration and abstract submission. 

The ISTCP Congresses showcase the achievements and advances of all areas of theoretical chemical physics, with special emphasis on the interaction between experimental and theoretical physical chemistry, chemical physics, materials and life sciences. This year’s congress will feature 202 invited speakers. There are 12 plenary speakers, whereas the rest of the presentations will be given in parallel sessions organized around 14 scientific tracks:

• From picoseconds to attoseconds: nuclear and electron dynamics (Chairs: David Clary, Leticia Gonzalez and Fernando Martin)
• Aspects of heavy-element chemistry (Chairs: Pekka Pyykko and Trond Saue)
• Emergent electronic structure methods (Chairs: Stefan Goedecker and Gustavo Scuseria)
• Multiscale modeling including focused models (Chairs: Benedetta Mennucci and Lyudmila Slipchenko)
• Large-scale electronic structure models of materials (Chairs: Thomas Heine and Hiromi Nakai)
• Ultracold chemical physics (Chairs: Jeremy M. Hutson and Bogumil Jeziorski)
• Molecular Properties and interactions (Chairs: Antonio Rizzo and Krzysztof Szalewicz)
• Computational spectroscopy: from x-rays to microwaves (Chairs: Attila Csaszar and Hans Agren)
• 90 years of r12: Hylleraas symposium (Chairs: Wim Klopper and Ed Valeev)
• Machine learning and data-driven approaches in chemical physics (Chairs: Alan Aspuru-Guzik and Pavlo Dral)
• Computational biophysics (Chairs: Fernanda Duarte Gonzalez and Ursula Rothlisberger)
• Path-integral methods (Chairs: David E. Manolopoulos and Gregory Voth)
• Physical organic chemistry and catalysis (Chairs: Odile Eisenstein and Vidar R. Jensen)
• Janos Ladik memorial symposium (Chairs: Erkki Brandas and Kenneth Ruud)
