6th Congress on Electronic Structure: Principles and Applications - ESPA 2008 Palma de Mallorca from 2 to 5 September 2008

the 6th Congress on Electronic Structure: Principles and Applications (ESPA) that will be held in Palma de Mallorca (Balearic Islands – Spain) from September 2 to 5, 2008.

The first meeting of this series was held in Miraflores de la Sierra (Madrid) in 1998, under the name "Workshop on Computational Chemistry", and subsequently in San Sebastian ("Electronic Structure: Prediction and Applications", 2000). The success of these workshops has encouraged the Spanish community of Theoretical and Computational Chemistry to consolidate these activities as periodic events, organized every two years. The present name "Electronic Structure: Principles and Applications (ESPA)" was first given to the congress held in Sevilla (2002). Last editions were organized by the University of Valladolid (2004) and the University of Santiago de Compostela (2006).

The conference covers all topics in the field of Theoretical and Computational Chemistry. Contributions on the theory, methodology and applications of all aspects of Computational Chemistry are invited, including, but no limited to electronic and molecular structure, condensed phase, bio- and chemoinformatics and reaction mechanisms.

We hope that besides the interesting scientific contacts you will find some time before, during or after the Congress to enjoy the hospitality, cultural richness and beauty of Mallorca, and of the capital, Palma de Mallorca. We hope to see you in Palma on September 2, 2008.

The congress organisation has blocked rooms in several hotels close to each other near Palma de Mallorca’s historic centre and public transport to the university campus.

In order to benefit from special hotel rates, you must contact to our collaborating agency CARLSON WAGONLIT TRAVEL.

The hotels will keep rooms blocked until July 30th, after which rooms may be available on request.
