Faraday Discussions Blog

We hope you are aware of how valuable Faraday Discussions are for the wider scientific community. They are unique international discussion meetings which focus on rapidly developing areas of physical chemistry and its interfaces with other scientific disciplines.

As well as the opportunity to take part in a major international conference, you can also have your research paper (including subsequent scientific discussion) published in a Faraday Discussion volume. Faraday Discussions is a leading physical chemistry journal and has a record impact factor of 5.0.

Here is the stimulating programme of meetings for the coming year – and note that the first two are already open for oral abstract submissions, so you can submit now.

FD162: Fabrication, Structure and Reactivity of Anchored Nanoparticles
10 – 12 April 2013, Berlin, Germany
Open now for oral abstract submissions – deadline 24 July 2012

FD163: Photo-initiated Quantum Molecular Dynamics
15 – 17 April 2013, Nottingham, UK
Open now for oral abstract submissions – deadline 31 July 2012

FD164: Electrolysis at the Nanoscale
1 – 3 July 2013, Durham, UK

FD165: Tropospheric Aerosol – Formation, Transformation, Fate and Impacts
22 – 24 July 2013, Leeds, UK

FD166: Self-Assembly of Biopolymers
16 – 18 September 2013, Bristol, UK

FD167: Mesostructure and Dynamics in Liquids and Solutions
18 – 20 September 2013, Bristol, UK

Please mark the dates in your calendar and feel free to pass this invitation to your colleagues. Look out for further information over the coming weeks on the individual meeting websites – you can also register your interest with us now.

We look forward to welcoming you to a Faraday Discussion meeting during 2013.

Join a Faraday Discussion which will explore the most important issues in understanding the chemistry and biological effects of ions: Ion Specific Hofmeister Effects: FD160.

There’s still time to submit your oral abstract for presentation – but don’t delay!

Molecular Reaction Dynamics in Gases, Liquids and Interfaces
Faraday Discussion 157
25 – 27 June 2012
Assisi, Italy

Deadline for Oral Abstracts: 26 August 2011

Submit now 

 Molecular Reaction Dynamics: FD157 aims to define the state-of-the-art and to outline the future prospects for this whole exciting area of research, with impact in many fields of science. The discussion will follow these key-themes:

• Bimolecular reaction dynamics in the gas-phase
• Photodissociation dynamics in the gas and liquid-phase
• Reaction dynamics at interfaces (gas-liquid and gas-solid)
• Ultrafast reaction dynamics in the condensed phase         

 Confirmed invited speakers:

• Fleming F Crim (Introductory) – University of Wisconsin, USA
• Richard Zare (Closing) – Stanford University, USA
• Rainer Beck – EPFL, Switzerland
• Joel M Bowman – Emory University, USA
• Stephen Bradforth – University of Southern California, USA
• Martin Gruebele – University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA
• Kopin Liu, IAMS – Academia Sinica, Taiwan
• Todd Martinez – Stanford University, USA
• Daniel Neumark – University of California, Berkeley, USA
• John Tully – Yale University, USA

Faraday Discussions are a long-established series of meetings which provide a unique international platform for the exchange of views and newly acquired results in developing areas of physical chemistry, biophysical chemistry and chemical physics. The Discussion is a dynamic forum for developing and exchanging exciting new ideas, and both the papers and discussion will be published in a final printed volume. The latest Impact Factor is 4.5.

We invite you to submit an abstract for an oral presentation by 26 August 2011 to Events adding ‘FD157 abstract’ in the subject line. We hope that this conference is of interest and that you will attend this exciting Faraday Discussion next year.
