Winter School on Chemical Reaction Dynamics at Surfaces
Co-Organizers: Rainer D. Beck, Alec M. Wodtke, Dan Harding Schloss Ringberg, Tegernsee Germany, March 10-15 2013 Sponsored by the Max Planck- EPFL Center for Molecular Nanoscience and Technology
The Winter School on Chemical Reaction Dynamics at Surfaces is designed as a Gordon conference style meeting that brings together researchers active in the field of surface dynamics and students in, or interested in entering, the field of Chemical Dynamics. Experts in the field will provide an in depth introduction to the theoretical and experimental methods used in the study of chemical dynamics at surfaces. Subjects covered will include molecular scattering and reactions, spectroscopy at interfaces, energy transfer, electronic structure theory, and classical and quantum dynamics. There will be a mixture of pedagogic lectures and scientific talks presenting the latest developments in the field. Participants will have the opportunity to present their work either as an oral or poster presentation.
The winter school is supported by the Max Planck-EPFL Center for Molecular Science and Nanotechnology. It will take place from the 10th-15th March 2013 at the Schloss Ringberg of the Max Plank Society. Schloss Ringberg lies on the banks of Tegernsee about 50 km south of Munich. Travel directions can be found here.
The Winter School will start with registration on Sunday afternoon, with the first talk at 5pm, and the program finishes at midday on Friday.
