ESPA2014 @ Edificio Siglo XXI | Badajoz | Extremadura | Spain

The 9th Congress on Electronic Structure: Principles and Applications (ESPA), will be held in Badajoz (Extremadura, Spain) from the 2nd to the 4th of July 2014.

The ESPA conferences, initiated in 1998, have been held every two years and cover all major fields of Theoretical and Computational Chemistry. The previous ESPA editions were organized in Madrid (1998), San Sebastián (2000), Sevilla (2002), Valladolid (2004), Santiago de Compostela (2006), Palma de Mallorca (2008), Oviedo (2010) and Barcelona (2012). These conferences were initially intended to bring together the Spanish Theoretical and Computational Chemistry community. They have grown over time (both in national and international participation), thereby evolving into a key event with international reputation in the field.

The conference encompasses plenary lectures, oral communications and posters presentations. All participants are invited to submit an abstract for an oral communication or a poster.

 

Proceedings of the conference will be published in Theoretical Chemistry Accounts upon the usual peer-review process. Details on how to submit the manuscript to the journal will be conveniently provided.

We hope to meet you in Badajoz between the 2nd and the 4th of July 2014.

Previous to the ESPA2014 the Third Annual Workshop of the Joint Doctorate Program on Theoretical Chemistry and Computational Modelling (TCCM) (http://www.emtccm.org/tccm-jd/) will take place the 1st of July in the Faculty of Sciences, Universidad de Extremadura.

ISMB2015 – The XXVI International Symposium on Molecular Beams @ Parador Nacional de Segovia
Jun 27 – Jul 3 all-day

ISMB2015 is the XXVI Edition of the Molecular Beams Conference series and will take place in Segovia, Spain, from the 28th of June to the 3rd of July 2015. The venue will be Parador Nacional de Segovia, an outstanding hotel and convention center located very close to medieval Segovia downtown, UNESCO Heritage city since 1985.

ISMB2015 will bring together scientists from all over the world to present and discuss the most recent advances in Molecular Beams Science, including reaction and photodissociation dynamics of neutral and ion molecules, ultrafast dynamics and coherent control, cold molecules, biomolecules, molecular clusters and helium droplets, liquid micro-jets and aerosols, beam-surface collisions, with contributions from both theory and experiment.

Following the tradition of the last Conferences, in this occasion ISMB2015 is dedicated to two outstanding scientists whose contributions and impact on Molecular Beams Science have been fundamental: Piergiorgio Casavecchia and Mike Ashfold, who will deliver plenary lectures in a special session in the afternoon of July 2, 2015.

The Conference format will include invited lectures, oral presentations selected among the abstract contributions, and poster sessions. The participation of young researchers and students is particularly welcome.

The day of arrival is Sunday, June 28, 2015, with registration during the afternoon and a reception in the evening. The program starts on Monday, June 29, 2015. The Conference will finish on the 3rd of July at midday, after a closure session.

Further information can be found on the conference web site: http://www.ucm.es/ismb which will be kept updated with the most recent news.

CLEO/Europe & EQEC @ International Congress Centre (ICM) i
Jul 20 – Jul 25 all-day
 

The European Physical Society (EPS), The Optical Society (OSA) and IEEE Photonics Society invite you to attend the European Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics (CLEO®/Europe) and the XIIIth European Quantum Electronics Conference (EQEC) which will take place from 21 to 25 June 2015 at the International Congress Centre (ICM) in Munich, Germany. These two conferences, hosted by LASER 2015 World of PHOTONICS, the world’s largest trade fair on Laser Technology, will be the major European event of the International Year of Light and welcome prestigious speakers in optics and applications.

High Level Opening

The Opening Ceremony of World of Photonics Congress 2015 will see high-level speakers, UNESCO representatives and European and international dignitaries join together with the scientific community at Europe’s broadest photonics congress held exactly in the middle of the International Year of Light.

Plenaries will present Nobel Laureates and world-class speakers

Theodor W. Hänsch, 2005 Nobel Laureate in Physics, Serge Haroche, 2012 Nobel Laureate of Physics, and Federico Capasso, 2013 Laureate of the EPS-Quantum Electronics and Optics Prize, will address the latest developments in their fields of research.

A leading forum for scientific and technical photonics

Attendees will have the opportunity to share groundbreaking research, ideas and network.
Hear innovative science in laser technology, ultrafast and fibre optics, nonlinear optics, terahertz sources, high-field physics, telecommunications, nano- and biophotonics, photonics in defense and security. Discover new concepts in quantum optics, atom optics, ultrafast photonics, nonlinear phenomena, plasmonics and metamaterials, nanooptics, theoretical and computational photonics.
Enjoy Joint Symposia, Technical Focus and Joint Sessions with other conferences (ECBO, LiM, SPIE-Metrology), which will cover all recent progress in research, technology and industrial developments.

Enjoy training courses. Apply for new Travel Grant Student Awards

10 short courses, taught by world-leading scientists and outstanding industry experts, will cover a wide range of exciting topics in photonics and laser technology. Last but not least, EPS and Young Minds Initiative will offer 10 travel grants to PhD Students who wish to attend CLEO®/Europe-EQEC 2015.
