The 10th edition of the Isolated Biomolecules Biomolecular Interactions (IBBI2018) will be held in Texel, The Netherlands from 8-13 April 2018. IBBI2018 will provide a scientifically stimulating and interesting program, with oral and poster presentations, lively discussions with other scientists in the field and social events.

“The IBBI conference series  bring together scientists from all over the world to present and discuss the most recent advances on Isolated Biomolecules and Biomolecular Interactions. The focus of the IBBI conferences lies on gaseous molecules of biological interest studied by spectroscopic, mass-spectrometric and theoretical methods, but also contributions addressing new, emerging and related techniques are welcomed”.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) Associate Editor Anouk Rijs will be organising and chairing the conference.

PCCP and Analyst are pleased to support the meeting and provide four poster prizes.

The deadline for early-bird registration is 31 January. Late registration will close on 15 March.

The 22nd European Conference on the Dynamics of Molecular Systems will be taking place in Dinard, France between the 26-31 August 2018. The aim of this conference series is to highlight experimental and theoretical aspects of atomic and molecular interactions. At MOLEC 2018, the focus will be on the following, non-exhaustive, list of topics:

• Molecular collisions
• Fundamental problems in molecular dynamics
• Ultracold atoms and molecules
• Molecular dynamics in condensed phases
• Photon-matter interactions
• Astrophysics and astrochemistry
• Atmospheric chemistry
• Femtochemistry
• Coherent control of molecular processes

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is pleased to support the meeting and will provide two poster prizes.

Registration for the event opens on 1 February and closes on 20 July. Abstract submission closes on 12 July.

Ultrafast Science & Technology Spain (USTS) 2017 will be taking place between 22-24 November in Salamanca, Spain. The scope of this Meeting will cover topics including ultrafast laser development, extreme light, materials processing, femtosecond laser spectroscopy and dynamics, nonlinear optical phenomena, ultrafast processes in biology, femtosecond microscopy or attosecond physics.

In partnership with USTS, Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics will be awarding €100 prizes for the best oral and poster presentations. The Advisory Committee – including PCCP Associate Editor Luis Bañares – will be in charge of the evaluation, taking into account the scientific quality of the work as well as presentation skills of the author.

PCCP is pleased to support the 2018 Joint ICTP-IAEA School and Workshop on Fundamental Methods for Atomic, Molecular and Materials Properties in Plasma Environments which will be held on 16-20 April 2018, at the International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP), Miramare, Trieste, Italy.

The Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) will jointly organize this school and workshop on Fundamental Methods for Atomic, Molecular and Materials Properties in Plasma Environments. The one-week event at ICTP will provide training and information exchange for computational scientists working on models and data for atomic, molecular and materials processes relevant to fusion energy research, industrial plasmas, laser-produced plasmas, astrophysical plasmas, and warm and hot dense matter. The training is aimed at advanced PhD students, postdocs and other young researchers. The information exchange will span several disciplines from molecules to materials and from method developments to data treatments. Topics related to energetic events and electronically excited states are emphasized throughout the programme.

The schedule features lectures by international experts, invited and contributed research talks, posters and discussion sessions, with ample time available for interaction and discussions.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics is delighted to sponsor the prizes for the best posters at the meeting.

Submit your abstract before 20 November 2017. 

The 10th Liblice Conference on the Statistical Mechanics of Liquids will be taking place at the Šumava National Park in Srní, Czech Republic between the 17-22 June 2018.

The upcoming 10th conference will follow the spirit of the previous meetings to provide an effective forum for contacts and for the exchange of ideas, with an emphasis on discussions rather than on formal presentations, highlighting achievements and challenges in both theoretical and applied aspects of the discipline. The program will include recent developments in the fields of:

• Liquid-state theories
• Molecular simulation: methodology and force field development
• Fluid interfaces and confined fluids
• Aqueous systems, including electrolytes
• Soft matter
• Nucleation; supercooled/glassy states
• Active matter

The deadline for registration and abstract submission is 17 December 2017.
