Dear All,

on behalf of the Scientific and Organizing Committee, I = am glad to
announce you the "Ischia Summer Modeling: = Challenges of molecular
sciences towards 2030" Conference, = to be held in Ischia (Naples) =E2=80=93
Italy, 5-7 = September 2022.

The goal of this conference = is to provide a platform to exchange ideas
and promote = collaborations within the community of theoretically
oriented chemists related to the major challenges of = molecular
sciences in the next ten years.

This event is especially focused on the interplay of new = ideas and new
technologies in shaping the future of = molecular sciences covering a
very broad range including, = inter alia, astrochemistry, environmental
chemistry, = material and life sciences. The format will be very
informal= and includes several lectures by leading experts in different
fields and broad general discussions.

The invited speakers that have already confirmed their = participation are:

Carlo Adamo - = Chimie-ParisTech
Alberto Baiardi - ETH Zurich
Malgorzata Biczysko - Shanghai University
Julien = Bloino - Scuola Normale Superiore
Carlo Cavallotti - = Politecnico di Milano
Maria Pilar de Lara Castells - CSIC = Madrid
Odile Eisenstein - University of Montpellier
Mihaly Kallay - Budapest University
Xiaosong Li = - University of Washington
Gershom (Jan) Martin - Weizmann = Institute
Feliu Maseras - Institute of Chemical Research = of Catalonia (ICIQ)
Florian Muller-Plathe - Technical = University of Darmstadt
Maria Joao Ramos - University of = Porto
Alessio Petrone - Universit=C3=A0 di Napoli Federico = II
Cristina Puzzarini - Universit=C3=A0 di Bologna
Giovanni Scalmani - Gaussian Inc.
Giovanni = Talarico - Scuola Superiore Meridionale

A = number of short oral contributions will be selected among those
submitted by registered participants for a specific session = on
September 7th afternoon.

Furthermore, revised versions of the contributions presented = at the
conference will be published in a special issue of = Theoretical
Chemistry Accounts (TCA), whose editors are = Prof. Barone and myself.
All the details are available on = the website of the workshop:

https://smart.sns.it/ischia_sm/

Just few additional notes:

- No = registration fee is applied, however registration is mandatory.
