The 7th edition of MES will be held in Pescara (Italy), a town on the Adriatic coast, from Saturday afternoon 21st September to Wednesday 25th September 2024 inclusive (departure on the morning of Thursday 26th September). According to its tradition, the conference is focused on new developments in the field of molecular electronic structure and related areas, as well as supporting mathematics. The main topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Explicit correlation Density matrix theory (RDM) Quantum chemistry beyond gaussians (STO, Sturmians, etc.) Relativistic Effects Excited states Stochastic approaches (Quantum Monte Carlo) Development of potential energy surfaces In addition to invited talks (see list of invited speakers https://www.mes2024.it/invited-speakers/), several contributed talks will be selected from the submitted abstracts. Furthermore, a poster session (with poster awards) will take place: all poster submissions by registered participants will be accepted. Finally, to promote informal exchange, various social activities are planned. The abstract submission deadline is June 15th, 2024. The very early bird registration is available until April 30th, 2024, and the deadline for early bird (still discounted) registration is July 5th, 2024. Reduced fees for students (Master and PhD) are available. It is possible to include accommodation at the conference venue (Hotel Villa Maria) in the registration fee. Please, find all information in the conference website: https://www.mes2024.it/registration/ Note that the Italian Accademia dei Lincei, as part of Days on One Hundred Years of Quantum Chemistry, is organizing the workshop Quantum Chemistry and Cheminformatics in Rome at the historical Palazzo Corsini on September 26th and 27th, following MES 2024 (preliminary information on this event can be found at https://www.mes2024.it/wp- content/uploads/2024/03/Lincei_QCCI_leaflet-1.pdf) and that transportation by bus will be arranged from the MES 2024 conference venue in Pescara to the Accademia dei Lincei in Rome on September 26th morning.
