Subject: 2013 Gordon Research Conference and Seminar in TDDFT
To: Neepa Maitra <nmaitra(a)hunter.cuny.edu>
Dear Colleagues,
Apologies for cross-posting.
The 2013 Gordon Research Conference (GRC) and Seminar (GRS) on
Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory (TDDFT) are open for applications.
Please see:
GRC: August 11-16, 2013, University of New England, Maine, USA
http://www.grc.org/programs.aspx?year=2013&program=tddft
GRS: August 10-11, 2013
http://www.grc.org/programs.aspx?year=2013&program=grs_tddft
The TDDFT Gordon Research Conference (GRC) will be held at the University
of New England, Biddeford, Maine, from August 11-16, 2013.
The GRC has become one of the most important and exciting meetings in TDDFT
over recent years. The most recent advances in the theory and its
applications, from electronic spectra and response to fully time-dependent
dynamics, the most pressing challenges, as well as new directions for
development and applications will be discussed. We have an outstanding
group of invited speakers and discussion leaders. For the preliminary
program, other meeting details, including registration/application
information, please see:
http://www.grc.org/programs.aspx?year=2013&program=tddft
For the first time, we are holding a Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) during
the weekend immediately prior to the conference, August 10-11, 2013, which
we are also very enthusiastic about! The GRS is a unique forum for graduate
students, post-docs, and other scientists with comparable levels of
experience and education to present and exchange novel results and cutting
edge ideas. The focus is on fundamental aspects of TDDFT, excitations and
dynamics in the linear and non-linear regime, and coupled electron-ion
dynamics from first principles. We invite young researchers engaged in
TDDFT and related fields to submit an abstract; please visit
http://www.grc.org/programs.aspx?year=2013&program=grs_tddft
for more details and the application/registration information.
The conference site is a beautiful small campus on the seashore, only 20
miles from Portland International Jetport (PWM) and 98 miles from Boston
Logan Airport (BOS). Bus service from Boston Logan Airport to the
conference site and back will be provided.
The guiding principle of a Gordon Conference is the presentation of new,
unpublished work and the free, unhampered discussion that follows. The
friendly, open, and lively atmosphere that has prevailed in our previous
conferences will foster constructive scientific exchanges throughout the
week, and during the Gordon Seminar, both in the discussions following
talks, poster sessions, and more informally.
We encourage you to visit the website and apply for what is shaping up to
be a most exciting conference and seminar:
