Venue

The conference was held at the Kuusamon tropiikki spa, in the town of Kuusamo, in northern Finland, on June 11th-17th, 2001.

Scientific Program

There were 28 invited speakers. There were also 11 contributed lectures (25 + 5 minutes) and two poster sessions.

Fields covered were:

  • Relativistic quantum chemistry
  • Calculation of NMR parameters and the interplay with experimental NMR
  • Numerical quantum chemistry methods
  • New species, the interplay between theory and experiment
  • Quantum electrodynamic effects in chemistry
  • Matrix spectroscopy and the interplay with computational methods
