- Emergent electronic structure methods

- Multiscale modeling including focused models

- Large-scale electronic structure models of materials

- Molecular properties and interactions

- Computational spectroscopy: From X-rays to microwaves

- 90 years of r12: Hylleraas symposium

- Machine learning and data-driven approaches in chemical physics

- Computational biophysics

- Path-integral methods

- Physical organic chemistry and catalysis

- Janos Ladik memorial symposium

For a full overview of the program and speakers, please visit the web pages of the congress: http://istcp-2019.org/.

The conference will take place during the midnight sun period in Tromsø, and the sun will thus never set during the conference, creating a unique atmosphere for scientific discussions.

Registration: Early-bird registration will close on April 30 2019, and registration closes on June 16 2019. The conference fee is NOK 3000 for regular participants (NOK 4000 after April 30) and NOK 2250 (NOK 3000 after April 30) for students that can provide a letter of confirmation from their supervisors. The conference fee will include a welcome reception and light refreshments during the two poster sessions, in addition to access to the scientific program. The conference dinner comes with a separate charge. To register, visit http://istcp-2019.org/registration.html.

Accommodation: You can reserve a hotel room at special discounted rates (NOK 900 including breakfast, NOK 750 without breakfast) once you have registered for the conference. We hope you will consider staying at the conference venue, Clarion Hotel The Edge. Rooms are available on a first come, first served basis. The special rates are available until April 30 2019. After completing your registration for the conference, you will get a hotel registration code that can be used to obtain the reduced hotel rates at the web sites of our conference hotels. For more information and for links to our conference hotels, please visit our web pages: http://istcp-2019.org/accommodation.html

Travel: For information on how to reach Tromsø, please visit our web pages: http://istcp-2019.org/travel.html

Posters: There will be two poster sessions during the conference. We encourage all participants to present a poster. To register a poster, please submit an abstract. Details on poster board sizes can be found on our conference web pages: http://istcp-2019.org/poster.html.

Abstract submission: Abstract submission for posters will open on January 1 2019, and close on June 16 2019.

Bursaries: We have a limited number of bursaries available for primary caregivers. Deadline for applying for such support will be March 1 2019, and the guidelines for how to apply for such support will be made available on the web pages of the conference.

Nursing room: A nursing room will be available to conference participants in need of such facilities.

Lunch buffet: You will have the option to select a lunch buffet at the conference for NOK 295 per day. Note that a lunch buffet at a Norwegian conference hotel is very comprehensive, including both hot and cold dishes and desserts. It will also be possible to buy this on site during the conference, but preordering during registration would be recommended and ensure that the hotel can provide these services.

Excursions: The afternoon of July 14 is free, and a number of options for excursions are available, see http://istcp-2019.org/excursions.html.

Conference web pages: All necessary information is available on http://www.istcp-2019.org.
